I really like the look and ride of the 20's with the 740M wheels. As you read the responses, others disagree. No surprise there.

Drive G05's with 20s, 21s and 22s and decide for yourself.

Good luck!

It appears Im now gonna stay away from the 22s as they are just too expensive for me, albeit they are awesome. The 21s seem to be a better compromise, while the 20s are the safest bet for longevity and are not likely to be destroyed via potholes since Dallas has some of the worse roads Ive ever seen.

[Mongoose777]

Would the 21s just be a better compromise between the 22's and 20s?
Which All Season tires are available for the 21s? Ive checked online and have not found any.
I measured each tire to wheel (street to base of wheel) at the dealer the other day.
20s 4" (larger sidewall full tire)
21s 3.5" (partial sidewall low profile)
22s 2.5" (very little sidewall low profile) this might be incorrect
What is the life expectancy for the 22s vs 21s???

On Tirerack, there is the tire choice for 21's (staggered). It has a 320 wear rating which is pretty low.

The 20's give way more options and better wear ratings.

My choice were the 20's for choices, comfort, tread wear, and value. In the end of the day, you have to choose.

thx

Never drove the one with 21's. I live in Dallas, I would agree they have a massive road repaving going on for M streets and surrounding Knox/henderson etx. Roads currently suck

You said grapevine the suburbs roads are smooth.

I prefer non runflat tires anyway. 22's were perfect IMO. Comfort mode felt same as 20's with run flat all seasons

I preferred the sportier set up tires on the 22's when in sport or sport plus

[Mongoose777]

Im starting to lean back to the original 22s that are coming with my car. But would like to know what is the expected life for the 22s and the 21s.
I know a lot depends on the driver, but what are you getting on your tires?
Thanks for all responses.

I have 20 “ 740 m as original wheel but turn it for snow set already

Here is my 22” . The pictures was before i turn the front grille to black and the rear exhaust tip black as well. It looks so agressive at the present

Expecting delivery of my G05 next week, and have been looking at wheels. The Rohana's and Niche Misano are the two I've been evaluating. Love the look. Did you go with a stagger? Which tires did you get — looks like P Zero? Looks like 305/40/22 in the back?? I got the 740's too purely for the sidewall, but we may be moving and I'm hoping we'll have better roads for bigger wheels

Yes i got the OEM staggered spec. The front is 275/35/22 pierlli pz4 the rear is 315/30/22 pz4. Just let’s you know if you want to do the staggered, you cant rotate the tires if you can accept this the go for it. Otherwise, use spacer

Appreciate it; I'll do some more homework — I am thinking about a larger sidewalk for a couple of reasons; the fitment look (I don't have air suspension, and don't want to have a huge gap, speedometer difference issues be damned) and the sidewall help driving on these brutal roads. I actually quite like your look — do you have air suspension or is that standard m sport?

Just standard M adaptive suspension. 22” wheel actually drive great even long trip. When winter come i switch back to 740m and feel great too. Yes, you will have to becareful on your 22” rim scratch on sidewalk it really annoy me at first but once you get used to it you will be fine.

I picked the 20 as well, even tho I had an options to get the M-Sport-Plus package (with the 22") -- reason is, I actually DO drive on pretty rough tracks, fords, and various 4x4 situations, and I don't think like 22" would have liked to cross the ford I have to use to get to my place.

They still look damn cool too -- agreed they look a bit small, but they are still 20 friggin inches :-)

Here's my current X3 parked near my 'commute'.

[TORGUE]

It’s true that the 22 felt same comfort o even better than RF 20”, what size do you prefer for ride quality ?

Thank you

No.

[buckybadger]

I'm ordering 21 inch with air suspension.

22 inch ride was a little bumpy in my opinion, but everyone is different. I personally found 21 inch to be a middle ground between comfortable and sporty ride.

This will depend on who you ask. I drove both very recently. The 20" were a little more cushy feeling for sure. The 22" with non runflats was exceptionally good IMO. I was surprised it was as comfortable as it was. My GF was in the car and said get the 22".

[Paul645]

I have an extra set of new, OEM 20" wheels and tires for a 2020 XDrive 40i. I'd like to sell or swap for a set of G05 OEM 19" OEM wheels/tires.

The wheels have the original OEM TPMS sensors installed.

I have two sets of tires: Bridgestone Alenza Sport RFT with 3000 miles, and Pirelli Asimmetrico non-run-flat with 2000 miles on them.

Message me and maybe we can work something out

I'm located in Lewes, Delaware

Got them changed to the 740M and they look great!!

From the ride quality side of things, its great, I usually use Comfort Mode and the car almost glides over all the numerous potholes etc that the Bombay roads are famous for!!!

This looks like very patchy road, hope your car is keeping up with this years heavy rain?

Wow!! They look amazing and also nicely captured, are these pictures taken by mobile or camera, looks awesome!!

[Heavyd]

I have 22" on a 45e with air suspension and it's a very nice ride. I don't have the feeling I have less comfort with them.

How many miles/kilometers do you put on them on average before replacing them?

I travel across country and I am not going to worry about a flat tire with road conditions like pot holes and construction zones with a ultra thin sidewall. Not on a luxury SUV. If I leave PA in the winter and go to Miami, snow tires and wheels will look ridiculous and ride horrible south of South Carolina. This is that "mix weather driving" I am talking about. Ride with the 20”ers are perfect with my 50i M-Sport an I love the look. There is no AS options for 22"ers and only one AS tire for the 21"ers.

Pirelli makes the AS option for the 22's

Those wheels look fantastic with the blue paint. I love it! Which wheels are they?
