I need to share a link to facebook and have an image on the wall of bigger size. I share a link as follows:

    FB.ui(
      {
        method : 'feed',
        name: 'the name whatever',
        caption: 'some caption',
        description: 'description',
        link: '',
        picture: photo_url
      },
      function (response) { ... }
    );

The picture is bigger then 154x154, i tried size 180x180 (i read somewhere in the docs it's required 180x180), but it ends up of size 90x90 on the wall anyway :(.

If i remove the picture parameter the image will be taken of the og:image meta tag, but it is still 90x90 pixels! If i post the link myself i can see it grabs the correct size - so when i post to wall myself it posts image of size 154x154, but how can i do the same to post it via the api facebook provides?

Tried it this way as well - works the same, please help :(

    FB.api('/me/feed', 'post',
      {
        link : '',
        picture : photo_url
      },
      function (response) { ... }
    );

This is when posted manually, a direct link to a site(image taken off the meta tags):

This is when shared via api(original: .jpg ):

When no "picture" argument is provided it posts the "TEST IMAGE" from meta tags, but still with the size 90x90
