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

if u r using 22" should be use 295/30/22 and 335/25/22 if not the tracking light will easily shown up on the cluster. and if u using this size u can choose pirelli scorpion which is cheaper than p zero as you mention for the size.

I strongly suggest, stick with OEM. Have a look at the 375 Wheels of BMW. 21" wheels, dual-toned looks aggressive. Moreover, they are OEM and hence stronger as they're designed keeping in mind the weight and impact-forces of off-roading of the vehicle.
