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.

I wonder about fitting 21's what the tire size would need to be to fit inside our wheel well

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.
