As stated on the topic title, anyone has pictures of stock suspension (non-lowered) with 19in wheels? I'd like to see if I can get by with just buying the wheels.

Thanks

 

Sport or non sport?

Mine is stock sport

 

Non-sport. I saw some pictures of 528 xi with 19in un-dropped and it looks both "ok" but of course not as good as a little drop. I wonder if xi is the same height as normal non-sport.

 

It won't be a pretty sight with non-sport shock height. The gap will be too much to bear, in my opinion.

 

How about switching from 17in 225/50 to 19in 245/40 (front) and 285/35 (back)?

It would effectively switch from a total wheel/tire size of 25.858 to 26.716 on the front and 26.854 on the back. Would that extra plus size fill out the extra spaces?

 

its going to look like ass

 

Look at this topic, in pics you will see stock non-lowered E60 with 19" rims.

That E60 is mine and has no sport or any kind of lowering, its stock.

 

Check out my gallery. Page 2. I'm on my iPad otherwise I'd post pics

My 525i had stock NON-sport suspension with 19" M5 rep wheels. Would the car have looked better with a 1.5-2 inch drop?....of course, but I thought it didn't look too bad the way it was. My #1 reason for not lowering the car was that I frequently drive on unplowed winter roads and ground clearance was key.

I since sold the 525i and picked up a Merc CLS63. Winters should be interesting

 

Winters will be interesting I had one dude don't even bother driving it I had continental 18" winter tires on their and it drove like crap I drove it for one winter and parked it the next 3 winters I had it. But I kept thinking like I had the wrong winter tires for my car and I did a research and found Perelli makes the fastest speed km/h rating for a winter tire=more grip on surface maybe try that may help.

 

lol. it's really not that much different. my friend has the sport, i have the non-sport. we ask our friends all the time to tell the differences. the only thing they notice is the 10-spoke wheels compared to the 5-spoke. before i bought an e60, i never noticed the difference. actually i only notice now because i read there is a difference. i would have never known otherwise.
