My Ride: 2008 535i 6 Spd Steptronic, Black Saphire, Natural Brown Leather, Cold Weather pckg, Prem pckg, Sport pckg, PDC, Rear Shades, Ipod w/Usb
Help all,
I'm currently running 20" Wheels on my 2008 535I. Looking to change up my rims. Thinking of trying 22". My Rim guys says they will fit, however I'm concerned about ride quallity and if the springs might need to get cut or changed. Please let me know your thoughts. Greatly appreciate it.

The biggest wheels I've seen that still looked good were 21's on a Hartge tuned M5.

I wouldn't go with the 22's. Leave that for the 6's and 7's unless you want to look like this guy....

Horrible rims aside, sizewise 22's on that doesn't look as ridiculous as I would have thought. Guess our cars have big wheel wells. Tbal had 22's but those were on a 6
