Hey guys (and gals). I'm thinking of putting on Beyern 22" Mesh wheels on my Space Grey X5 35d. But, I'm a little concerned that doing so will not leave me enough rubber. The local shop told me that if I go that route, I'll end up with 285/35/22 tires (and they recommend the Yokohama Prada Spec X tires). Has anyone put 22s on their X5? If so, did you notice a much louder or rougher ride? I'm worried about bending the rims or ending up having an SUV that has to look out for every little pothole or bump in the road. At the same time, I think that this looks awesome.



My other option being considered is to go with some replica OEM wheels that are fairly inexpensive, which isn't a bad option but I won't get the same look. Unfortunately, I just really don't like the 19s that my ride came with.

What do you guys think, should I roll with the 22s, and keep my stock wheels for Winter driving, or just go with 20s and sell the stock setup? Any feedback on either the Beyern wheels or better quality replicas?

Thanks
