My Ride: 530i
hello All,
Im interested in putting 22" rims on my 07 530I. i was wondering if i would have to:
1. roll the fenders
2. will they fit
3. any adjustments to the suspension
4. will they rub
5. what size tires to get
Any positive feedback would be appreciated. thanks in advance

It's been done but never tastefully. I have seen some nice 21's on a Hartge tuned M5.

You'll most likely have to roll the fenders to make it fit.
Tire sizes and whether it clears the suspension will all depend on wheel width and offset.
Exhibit A :thumbsdown:
Exhibit B better I guess but not by much...:thumbsdown:

highest i would go is 20"s, which is what i have on my car. anything more and you're sacrificing too much...
22"s = drive like a grandma, at which point you're better off buying an oldsmobile or a buick.
Just my 2 cents..

Sorry, you wanted "positive feedback".... so I have taken the liberty to strike out my original comments as they may be a bit on the negative side...

I don't know if anyone has put the MORR 21" MS8.1's on an E60.. but LACSTER put them on his F10 and they look bad ass. I think pretty much everything to say about 22" on an E60 has been said above.
