for the 22 inch rim the usual tire sizes that work are
265/40/22
285/35/22
295/30/22
315/30/22-rears only
all four of my rims are 10.5 inches wide and i could have easily put the 315s on the back but i wanted to be able to rotate the tires.

Imola depending on the width of your rim, i would go with a 285/35 in the front and a 315/30 in the rear. It would be major badass.. You should have no rubbing.

You and you and me! I have 18" DPE R7s on my 330xi. Would be cool to have a 22" set on my X5 as well.

to chrome or not to chrome

please get the chrome, especially if the rims copy a bmw design wheel. i spent days deciding whether to go with chrome or alumunium, i 'm so so so happy with the chrome.
