X7 747s with 325/35ZR22 and 285/40R22

BMW 22" 747M Cerium Grey Wheels of an X7.
Upsized tires to 285/40R22 and 325/35ZR22.
Tires are All Season - Nitto NT420V. So far with 100 miles on them, they are great. I notice no higher noise than the previous RF Bridgestone 20s.
I am lowered on H&R Springs. Springs were installed well over a month ago so have settled.
Am running 15/20 spacers, may back it down to 12/15 due to the more aggressive et with the X7 wheels.
Speedo is just about 2mph off from GPS at 70mph.
The ride is amazing. Truly does not ride like it has 22s on here. Enough sidewall that you are still comfortable.
I believe the fitment, visually, is perfect.

The car is filthy, as we live in a new construction neighborhood, but wanted to share with you all this option, as I know 22's are hard to find in all seasons. These Nittos were a very cost-effective option. I know they have some mixed reviews due to mainly noise, and some have voiced concerns about lateral handling in wet conditions, but others have voiced otherwise. I drove in the rain in them yesterday and noticed absolutely nothing of note.

Lip kit is from Maxton. Adding that because am often asked that! haha!

My neck hurts now, lol
It looks really good. I want to do the same in upsizing my tires to close more gap and look fatter on the back with 325s. Im oslo lower on h&r springs. Some people said that you cannot put 325 on a 10.5 rims but your looks good.
Now i need to look for some 22 wheels as I have the 21 741ms. My other option which I have been looking for is to go the same but +5 with my 21s. 285/45/21 and 325/40/21 which will be the same diameter as yours. But I haven't see them with summer tires to see if I like it. I do like meaty tires so.

I like those wheels. Looks great. Any rubbing at full turn, especially lowered?

Does idrive allow for correction of tire size to fix the speedo?

I’d like to know this as well. Your X5 looks great though!

How much did the Nitto’s run you?

I've thought about a set of X7 22s as well, but my OCD isn't comfortable with them sticking out more than the stock X5 wheels. Something about it just looks "off" to me.

The difference between the X7 and X5 Et is only a few MM.
And that is purely speculation based on what others have said here on the forums.

I have not been able to find different 747 part numbers for the X5 vs X7.

wheel dimensions: 9.5J x 22 IS:37 front and 10.5J x 22 IS:43 rear

Mine sit perfectly flush with the top of the fender well due to running 12/15mm spacers.

There has been a very small tub two times.
Once at ang full turn into a driveway, so the wheel went up over the entrance elevation of the driveway, which was steep, and was at a full turn. In reverse.

The other was a full bottom out on back road after a hill. The left rear rubbed a small amount. I did have my teenager daugter (all of 100lbs) sitting in that back right seat.


As far as Idrive. I have not found a place to change sizes, only type of tire. As in Summer/winter. Could someone code a change? No idea. The 1mph at 75 doesnt bother me. That said, if it is adding miles to the odometer, over time, that could bother me.

Meanwhile most of us install spacers specifically to get that look. BMW wheels look 'sunken in' in the stock position, espeically the rears.
