22's too big?
 

I was going to get 20's, but my friend is now suggesting 22's to have a fuller look. Is this a bad idea?

I have 22"x10" Front, 22"x10.5" Rear set up, and I love it.
you can find some pictures below..
I posted on bimmerfest while ago..

That is a beautiful ride. Where did you get the clear head/tail lights? Got a link to the store you purchased those 22's? Also do the tires rub when you turn? Thanks.

Thank you! :thumbup:
I got my rims from eec-online.com and clear lights from ebay.
did you mean if my tires rub the fender flares when I turn?
if so then Nope!

kirkX5m> Thank you very much!!
yeah I'll post some new pics soon since I got a new digital camera!!

Wuzin's 22" HRE's are intensely hot. They are some of the best looking wheels I have ever seen on an X5.

The thing about his wheels is that (a) they are HRE = huge bucks and (b) the style looks good in 22". I think there are some wheel designs that look silly in a comic book or Hot Wheels kind of way because they overpower the X5. Also, Wuzin has the 4.8is body kit on his so the overall look fits the 22" wheels. His X5 is one that I would aspire to mimic.

Will these 05 clear tail lights fit my 02?

:iagree: Normally I think 19's or 20's look best on the X5, but your HRE's are an exception :thumbup:

How are the 22's over potholes, though? (not sure how the roads are out your way... )
I'm probably getting 20's in the spring - and even they worry me on the poorly maintained NYC metro-area roads, let alone 22's!

It depends on the type of 22" Wheel. The HRE's that Wuzin has on his X5 is just right from a visual SIZE perspective since the color combination(gun metal) somewhat makes it smaller than it really is...

Other 22" wheels I've seen on some X5 makes it seem bigger thus making it not proportional to the size of the X5...
