What's the largest wheel I can fit on a 2011 328i coupe?

I'd love to get some 22" wheels for my ride but not sure if they would fit. What's the biggest size wheel I can put on this ride without sacrificing the ride too much?

Thanks. How about without one? That sounds like a lot of work and $$.

I think he was being sarcastic. You could get 20's but they will effect the drivability of your car you'll definitely have to watch out for potholes. I was actually thinking of going with 20's but I think I'm going to go with 19's.

20's are probably the largest you would want to go before sacrificing ride quality along with handling characteristics. We've fitted our 20" VMR V710's on a E92 and they looked great.

Thanks for the info everyone. Charles - those wheels look very nice. That's the same model and color of my car too so its definitely a nice realistic visual for me. I'll check out your wheels on your site.

22" is way too big. As mentioned above, the largest I would go is 20".

But really, 20" is about as big as is comfortable. A bit beyond that and the tires just look like they are painted on the wheels. Too much bigger and you have the above P-Chop example.
