Hi
On the two 2.2 Z3’s I have had, they were fitted with 17” staggered wheels and on the two 2.0 Z3’s I have also owned they were fitted with 16” wheels
In my opinion the 16” make for a more comfortable ride and the 17” look better.
But just a matter of choice.
If my 2.0’s were fitted with 17” wheels I would not change them to 16”s

I have 2 zeds one has standard 16's my other zed had a square set of 18's till I split one now running staggered 17's
Out of the 3 prefer the 17's as the best compromise between ride and handling.
16 comfortable ride more sloppy in corners
17 still decent ride ( firmer than 16) much better cornering
18 ride a bit harder slightly fidgety cornering good.
But these are just my personal opinion.

Decided to stick to my 16.s and fitted a new set of tyres .At my age I now go for comfort.
