problem

I installed 22's wheels that were on my friend 650i and they were okay. But once I get them they hits the body!!. I took it to the dealer and I tell them to check the suspension they said it's fine!! And when I compare it to other 650 that park next to it they are a little bit higher than mine!!

What should I do?

Was the other 650i M sport? It could have been non and been higher suspension. Also maybe he had the quarter panel interior rolled.

I think the problem is that you're putting 21s on your 6er.

^^^ Thanks. To me 22" is too big for 6er... Any potholes (even the small one) will damage the rims

Maybe it's those rims specifically in ^ pictures....but 22s simply look

20/21s are the only way to go

Agree... Except the blue one and the last (white) one, cars look like a truck

I think the red Vossen one looks great standing still.. Once it's moving I'm sure handling is out the window and the ride quality is sh!t.. Not to mention the damage you will eventually do to the suspension. 21's i think are max for this 6, the previous body handled 22's a lot better than this one. I wouldn't go larger than 20's because of the performance and handling losses personally.

And I'm saying they cannot be the same if the car sits higher than yours. If yours sits lower it must be a different year, diff suspension, lowered, or it just looks like it to you when the wheels go on your car. Did you measure the height of both cars on both sets of the same wheels and tires?
