Does anyone know the largest diameter wheel you can fit on our e60's? Ive got 20's right now but is it possible to fit 21's or 22's with perhaps a thinner tire? I feel like I have some extra room with my 20's to go larger without the car looking like an SUV but not sure. Thanks.

22s have been done with a non-M e60, largest recommended would be 20-21

Member Wheelzplus had 22s on his 530.

He had MHT forged wheels and here are the specs of the wheels and tires:
22x9 ET25 with 245/30/22 Pirelli PZero Nero
22x10.5 ET28 with 285/25/22 Pirelli PZero Nero

He was lowered on H&R springs and said he had no rubbing.
