Q's eat wheels. I have run 20x10.5 +44 in the rear without touching the fenders. And that was after I lowered it three and a half inches. If you are at stock height you could run 22's with out issues, if that's your style. I run 19x10 +3 in the rear now but it requires a roll, then again, I am dropped pretty good. Stock would be no problem. It all depends what you are going for.

Agreed, they do eat wheels. I had a nice 19" set of rims that bought off a 2006 M45 (Enkei rims) they lasted about about 45k and I started to have issues. I bought a set of the factory offset rims off tire rack and back on track. With only 113k on the odo I hope these last me another 3-4 years when I plan to replace the car.

I wouldn't go bigger than 19" personally. The tires start to get SUPER expensive in the 20-22" size. I would rather have premium Michelin SP Sports in YR than 22" rims and run second tier tires. The Michelin in 19" are already over $200 buck, bigger than that your over $300 which given how heavy this car is you will be settting yourself for a very expensive habit.
