My 2019 740 lowered on 22’s

Got this beauty a few weeks ago. Just completed a few mods. Looks perfect.

Looks stunning, I'd love to put 22"s on but I always fear it will affect ride quality too much? I am a bit of a princess admittedly when it comes to ride quality and I hate the ride in my wife's 4 series m sport cabriolet with 19" as it just seems to bounce on UK roads...instead of gliding over them.

Anyway, an amazing look, thanks for sharing! Safe travels.

Looks great. Did you use lowering links?

Do you mind sharing the wheel width and offset as well as the tire size you are running. I actually have a set of 22" wheels that came off of my old Audi S8, and it turns out the the bolt pattern and center bore are the same as the G12 (5 x 112 and 66.6). Curious to see if I can put them on with perhaps using spacers to compensate for the staggered setup on the 7. Thanks in advance.

I have it lowered on links.

Front:
22x9
32 offset
255/30/22

Rear:
22x10.5
42 offset
295/25/22

I am running a 10mm front spacer as it wouldn’t clear the calipers. With this setup there is still a little room left in the wheel wells.

Looks great. A 22" setup would last about 10 minutes in New York before denting the rims. Might also require hospitalization for a cracked cocyx. Yes, our roads are that bad.

It looks good on 22's but can't do it in NYC/NJ. My B7 is on 21s and I've had 3 wheel repairs in the last 3 months since I switched back to summers.
