21" vs 22" tires on a X6 35i Upgrade Options?

Hi guys
Am looking at wheel upgrade options and trying to decide whether to upgrade +1 OR +2 from my OEM 20" on my X6 35iw/sports package. The 20" wheels currently on the car are okay but just don't look the part/too big a wheel gap even with a sports package on the vehicle. However it seems to be scarce wheels and sizes to choose from in this area if I move to 21" and 22" wheels AND with tires.

So my question here is what are the pros/cons beside $$$ and also finding these items. And then what do you guys recommend? Tire rack says staggered setup like I have is:

22x10.5
285/30ZR22 XL Front

335/25ZR22 XL Rear
22x11.5

OR

21x10
285/35R21 XL Front

21x12
325/30R21

Does this sound about right? Also are the options other than RFT for these sizes? RFT are soo expensive and make such a rough ride especially with Sport suspension and all that I'd like to almost go back with regular tires and get an M-mobility kit to offset this. All I see listed on TireRack is RFT's tho it seems at 20" and above! What's up with that?

Finallly should I look at getting H&R Springs to lower the vehicle any? Any luck with that on any ones cars out there? Pros/Cons? Any help.thoughts would be helpful on ALL the above!

thanks Rob
