Hello,

Im going to order the ASANTI 128 10x22" x 8,5 x 22" for my BMW E60. (i dont know if bigger wil fit ? 10,5x22" and 9x22" ??)

Tires: Pirelli 285/25x22" Rear, 245/30x22" Front. (is that the "smallest/lowest" tires possible)

Is it possible to put theese wheels on a E60 without M5 bumpers/fenders.

I can see some of you drive on 22" and i would like to know if i need to roll fenders on the rear ??

Do you have some advice for the offset ??

Thank You for all help regarding my 22" order

Send a PM to Wheelzplus. He has 22s and he says he has no rubbing issues.

Try that topic, they are talking about 22.
If you have non sport suspension, it'll probably easier to accommodate the 22' wheels.


Why are you going to get 22'?? Heavy, poor performance, rough ride, and you will probably encounter rubbing issues. But if your going for looks, okay.

In the context of this conversation, accommodate = better to fit. Meaning that it is better if you do not have the Sport suspension on your car therefore it can fit the 22" wheels easier.
