stay with 20" or get 22" wheels Dropped it or Stock Height

suggestions whether to stay with 20" wheels or upgrade 22"
love the 20' being that its easy to find more selections vs 22" that are limited

Tires are easier to find yes, but you also run into a slightly more jarring ride with 22 inch wheels due to their thinner sidewall, and more chance for damaging rims on really sharp potholes/edges.

20 is just enough meat to keep things going and looking good. Why not a lowering spring? It would probably look great on 20".

I have 20s and I just curbed one wheel :\
I'm sure the 22s will be less forgiving

Go for 22s if you're loaded and have money to blow.

am Glad and yes...having 20" is very good being that i always have tires for them,I hardly see 21' or 22' being available right away money. I always wanted the ADV wheels with 22" but i think the the thread thickness may damage the 21/22's quicker.

here is the SAV that i play around with....

I hate to think what the ride would be like on 22's. It's only passable at 20.

I'm running 22's on my X5M with Dinan Suspension and it rides better than the stock run flat 20's. I do have to be more aware of potholes but ride is not an issue at all.

Go with 22, it's a head turner now, makes the car ride not as good but not bad either

I have the same set up on my X6M. My conclusions are the same.

I love the set up with 20" wheels + spacers (12mm front and 20mm rear)

and no-drop.

*need fender flares if you don't have.

MMMM, love the look of the 22s. A bit more aggressive looking vs the 20s.

Can anyone comment on the ride quality from 20" to 22"?

I have 20's and I'm on Airride...so mine is comfy yet i can maximize my ride quality from being stiff to comfort....the current setup now I've had the car this low on turns and straightaway at excess of 150+ with no problem and no bounce.......

Thanks! Dinan exhaust, matte black tips. I thought about black wheels but prefer a little contract between wheels and body.
