New Wheels
I just had Hartman 22" S-line replica wheels installed today on my 2007 Q7 with Toyo Proxes ST II tires in 285-35-22. I'm pretty happy that the wheels match my paint pretty closely. I thought 22" wheels would be too big, but they almost look normal under the big wheel well the Q7 has. Surprisingly, the ride feels just like stock, something else I was concerned about with going to a 35 series tires. I'm thinking about installing the H&R lowering springs in the near future. Anyone have any experience with the H&R springs for our Q7?

PheonixINX,
These are the Hartman HRS4 wheels in 22" by 9.5" I went with Toyo Proxes ST II tires in a 285-35-22. I don't remember what the offset is but the wheel is almost flush with the fender well. If I were to use a 5mm spacer it would be right there. I'm still debating whether to lower it with H&R springs.

I'm having mine lowered with H & R springs on Tuesday. Along with going from OEM 21" wheels to 22" wheels. I'll post some pictures.
Nice wheels, those were my second choice.

Bay Area Q7,
Nice Q you got there. Definitely post your feedback on the H&R springs. I've seen another Q7 here in LA with 22s" thats lowered 2" with KW (I think thats the brand) coil overs and to me it looks perfect. I was measuring the wheel well gap with 22s" and I'm hoping I'll be happy with the H&R springs since they only lower 1.4" front, 1.3" rear. Those KW coil overs are some big $$$
I see you are in Redwood shores. I was born and raised in Foster City. My family lives out in Redwood City now. I miss the bay!

Could you post some close up pics of your wheels and tires some straight on and angles. I just had the dealer lower my Q so now I plan on getting the same wheels here real soon. So wondering what kind of lip protection if any? Are the 285's stretched because I have 295's on the sline 21 s now? thanks.
