Has anyone put 22" on their Panamera?

Hey I'm thinking of putting 22" modulare wheels on my '12 Panamera 4S. Currently I have the 20" turbo wheel. Has anyone noticed:
A. any increase in ride harshness?
b. any loss of acceleration considering the lightest 22" will be heavier than the factory wheel?
c. Increased handling performance? Do the 22" reduce the understeer when you push the car super hard in a turn?

Was it worth the upgrade. I like the look of 22" but hate to sacrifice the above. Any comments would be appreciated. thanks!!

I'm in the same boat here.
Any real world replies from actual owners, not speculators, would be appreciated!

I have had several sets of 22's on my Panamera and feel the same slightly more aggressive ride but nothing too noticeable and the vehicle is a lot more responsive on curves etc. Let me know if you have any further questions or need pricing on any wheels I will be more then happy to help!

The guys at Wheels Boutique installed a set of 22 ADV1 and also installed springs to lower my Panamera v6. The car looks amazing and NO ISSUES at all. Just like they said. I was considering 21's but they insisted that I go with 22's because they know me and I would be unhappy. And again they were correct.

How much sidewall tread is there showing with 22's. How forgiving are 22's if you hit a pothole, even a small one. Without a spare I'm frightenrd even with 19's. Pics of 22's appreciated.

265/30/22 front total side wall height is 3.13 divded by 2 or 1.565" all the way around.

315/25/22 rear total side wall height is 3.10 divided by 2 or 1.5 all the way around.

stock sidewall height with the factory 20's is just over 4" or 2" all the way around.
