I tried looking all over the internet for information regarding tire sizes on a 2008 BMW M6 lowered on H&R sport springs. The wheels I am planning to run are 22x9.5 front and 22x11 rear. The shop told me it won't rub but others are telling me it won't work.
I am just trying to find out if anyone here has a M6 on 22s and H&R springs without any fender rolling/rubbing issues. If so, please post up with your setup. Thank you in advance.

I think you might be the only M6 running 22's in the world. 
What is the offset of the rims? What brand/style? Pics?

There are BMW 6series with 22s so I don't think I'm the only M6 in the world. I'm in the process of purchasing them from a local shop. No pics since I haven't bought them yet.

I get the fealing that you guys dont like the sound of an M6 on 22's. I personally think that if its executed properly ( right amount of drop ), it could look good. I would do it if I had an M6. I think the perfect size is 21's, if you could find the tires. 
Anyways, here are some M6's on 22's. Photos are courtesy of Vellano Forged wheels. Both cars need a major altitude adjustment.
