Any more than a drop of 1.2, you are going to rub.

22x9 I think is too wide, go 22x8.5 with a 25 offset.

You wont rub with coilovers, the guy with the 22s has Eibach springs. Maybe you can squeeze lower than 1.2 I sure would LOVE to see the finished product.

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
You need as discussed before also in PM that fenders must be rolled, car lowered then all is possible That is what we do for all cars.

21" is recommended for M5, so if you def, change your car to M5 bumpers etc, no issues, or roll the rear fenders.

I will go for 10x22" and 8,5x22" I have PM with whellzplus and he has that dimension and standard bumpers and rolled rear fenders. I think it looks awesome with 22" if the car is as low as possible. With standard suspension it looks :thumbsdown:

In France, that's illegal to change the genuine diameter of the wheel more than 1.5% so impossible upgrading the car with 22" rims except on the M5. Nevertheless some people have got very big wheels...

THE FIRST SET OF 22 I HAD WERE A 28 IN THE REAR. WHEN I OREDERD THE NEW 3 PIECE ONE I WANTED A 10.5 WITH A 30 CAUSE I HAD I ALTTLE MORE ROOM AFTER ROLLING THE FENDERS.
