18 fronts & 19 rears

how come nobody is running this set-up?? 18's front and 19's rear...would it work?? or is this asking for problems???

I think people just enjoy the look of 19" all the way around. I've seen corvettes run this setup but in terms of the E90 I dont know if this will cause problems. BTW why settle for 18" when you can have 19"

Katsbimmer,
I also have this in mind,and keep looking for people who post using bigger wheel at the rear.
Because if we see from side view,the rear wheel always look smaller then the front wheel (optical illusion due to the tall rear section of the E90).
A bigger rear wheel should help this problem.But I was wooried with the Run flat Tire pressure sensor,because it worked based on sensing the rotation of the wheel.
Does this sensor work to detect different in rotation speed only from side to side wheel or also from front and rear.
Not to mention ABS sensor...
Any body know?

I already have 18" m5 wheels so i was thinking just get the rears in 19's. I wish i would have bought them first..

my other car... a crossfire... has 18's front & 19's in the rear... it looks agressive imo.
