We had 22" Asanti wheels on the X5 we used to own & had Toyo Proxi II tires (Best tires in my opinion). We had I believe 22x9 on all 4 corners.

1. Very nice ride.
2. Decent handling.
3. I think they looked great!

I agree, they do look nice. I wasn't bold enough to go 22" and opted for 20" 215 replicas. I should have them tomorrow so I'll see how those work. Thanks for your feedback.

Cool...I also forgot to mention that I towed with the 22s & it wasn't an issue with the 3 questions you asked. Like I said, I found the Toyo Proxy II to be awesome in dry/wet/snow.
