Suspension question

Hi just recently purchased a 2009 740il I had 18" wheels on it was going to upgrade to 22" but due to lack of ride comfort went for 20" alloys. The gap between tyre and arch is huge the wheels look small on car as well. Was speaking with someone today and was told I can changebur drop links for smaller ones is this true? Would it affect ride comfort and can any issues arise?

Thanks

I use 18" for winters; very comfortable!

The links are only any if you have air suspension that was fitted to the rear only and springs front. Not sure on a 2009 what you got

If I'm not mistaken, the 740 didn't have air suspension until 2013 MY
