2004 X3 20"'s or 22"s????

I have a 2004 X3 prem and sport pkg....

I'm looking at putting some bigger rims and tires on it.

My question is it possible to put 22"s on it....

I don't want to lower the truck at all so I'm worried that the 20"s will look too small and have a big gap in the wheel well...

Does anyone have photos? and suggestions..

Thanks so much...

No I wouldn't put 22" wheels on your X3. A nice set of 20's would be as big as I would go. Don't forget the X3 is a small SUV.

Stick with 20's. I have 22's on my x5 and I couldn't imagine them clearing the fenderwell of an x3. I'm sure you'd have rubbing issues, problems turning full lock on the steering wheel, and it would make your x3 look like a hot wheels toy car IMO.

Go w/ the 20s, IMO they are plenty big enough for an X3...if you want to shorten the wheel well gap look into lowering your X3 after getting the 20s.
