Hi Puppy
I have a E61 535D M Sport highly modified but running standard suspension ride height and fitting 19 inch 172 spiders From the saloon 245/35 fronts 275/30 rears non runflats using 15 mm spacers on the back to stop scrubbing the inner arches , is one of the best mods I have done it transforms the car dramatically , the turn in and body stability is greatly enhanced
I've done about 60000 miles with no issues regarding wheels bearings
If you can find a set of original BMW ones as they are a little stronger than the copy ones
It's something you would not regret and the car looks a whole lot better also
All the best

Could you tell me what difference you noticed in ride comfort between the 18 and 19 inch wheels?
Cheers

Hi Again
I must admit they look really good as long as they fit without any issues !
Comfort wise I would say the 19s feel about the same as the 18inch M Sport wheels on runflats as I'm running non runflat Goodyear Aysemetric 2s on the 19s if you can pay the extra I would get the Goodyears there fantastic tyres especially in the wet with fantastic levels of grip and progressive breakaway and have a good raised rim protector
With Regards
