R u gonna put spinners on it..JK don't take things personal just having some E60 fun pls post pics if you do it..... depends on the offset of the wheels if anything they will rub but proper offset will help with ride comfort and proper tires is most important.

Well, since he posted on the 7 Series forum I assume he has one. In which case 22's will fit, with a scary thin tire, hope the roads are pool table smooth where you live.

I'm thinking of getting some 22's. I currently have 20's. Is the ride going to be MUCH rougher?
Here's a teaser pic with the old rims.

Truthfully, I dont think its rougher, I think its better. With my OEM 19"s, the car rode tooooo soft for my taste. The 22"s tightened and firmed things close to my comfort level. Even lowered, I like it 100x more than stock. Next thing on my list are KW coilovers for more drop and firmness, and this cars done. I think my car being lowered, with 22"s, rides beter than most 3 series I have even driven. It comes down to personal preference.
