arent the 19s less bumpy than the 20s would be? let me know if they are not.

19 with a drop will be just as rough as 20 without. I mentioned 18 because they handle better and ride is smoother. I'm on 19 now and they are all bent a little. Probably won't do that again.

lame

got u... the rims i like aren't offered in 18s and well, i did want a larger wheel.

i suppose the fender gap created by an increased wheel would still warrant a drop (if not for anything, aesthetics), so I didnt meant to imply that i would do a drop on 19s but not on 20s.

I think with 20s you'd bend a rim in the first month...these roads are shit. Everywhere. It's rough with my 19s on coilovers and non-run flats.

No more than 19s

thx for the feedback. definitely doing 19s. already bought the tires and going to order the rims in a few days (not sure why i am waiting...).

what kinda coilovers you have?

19 are prob your best bet if you dont want to go with like 25 series which is a killer on gta roads. they also make a 20 series tire, so there is always options

KW V1 - love them, best thing you can do for your car.

I don't find the ride quality harsh at all on 20"s, they are better than my 18" RFTs for sure. Only downside is performance as others pointed out, poor acceleration due to the weight of the wheels. The car "feels" heavier. I'm lowered on KW V1s.

Fender/wheel gap does not change as overall diameter remains the same with 18,19, 20 or 21........

Higher Rotational mass = slower car.

18's and 19's work well with the 3 Series. 20's are just too big.
