Buy with confidence from Michael - strong vendor on forum.

I see you made up your mind on Continentals, excellent treadware. Friend of mine with 535xi run them on VMR 19's and KW V3 and they all work pretty good together. Here're some other tires for consideration. I love hankooks v12, has a soft feel and help with large rims, but treadware no where near DWS.

I hope the 20" doesn't affect my car's ride or performance, but if someone tells me that it will, I'll probably go with the 19" Alufugen's.

20" will definately affect the ride even on non-sport suspension. Also, if considering performance, the largest wheel BMW itself puts on an M5 are 19". 20" are more for looks. In your case, I would get Alufelgen SF-71 19" staggered.

Besides, I drive a 530i I'm not really looking too much into performance.

So now I'm finally trying to go through with this order of the Vertini Magic's 20', but I cant figure out which size to choose.

This is driving me nuts! 1st the tires now this...

I'm guessing 20x10 ET35 rear and 20x8.5 ET 18 front

Is this good or can I go more aggressive? so complicated, I'm no whiz!

hopefully I wake up in time to get my lights done by John@motorcepts.

TIA

I am not sure how are the roads in New Jersey, but here in Chicago they suck. I have 19" OEM 172 on sport suspension - a lot of times I wish I would have a little bit more tire to absorb the potholes... Unless you drive 20 miles per week, then get 20", otherwise, stick with 19".
