I think 20" wheels look the best. Also it helps getting 20" wheels that are the same or lighter weight then your current setup. Less unsprung weight lets your suspension do its job better.

I have the exact wheels you are looking at only in 20's. my car is titianum silver and I have sport suspension on my and I'm not going to lower anymore as springs would only drop it another 1/2 inch. My biggest concern was the tires, the guys I bought it from, they were suppose to send me the M6 wheels but end up sending me the F10 M5 wheels. They were recommending I go with 245/30/20 in the front and 295/25/20 in the rear and I was scared about the thin sidewall in the rear. They ride decent, I feel things a little more but nothing unbearable and I am now pot hole avoider so you should have be fine. I will take pics of it tomorrow after I get her cleaned up, I just put on the umnitza bodykit and I waiting for a break in the rain.

bigger wheel = less tire, which means you have to be more careful with potholes and whatnot.
i have 19", and have been tempted to go smaller after dealing with bent and cracked rims.

Be a boss, roll on 21's.
21x11 rears and 21x 10's front
Whats with all the 20's or 19's? Do you want stance or ride comfort? There is no median. You either got stance or you have 19's and a bigger tire wall but you don't get stance. Your chasing that purple dragon buddy.

yea its such a hard decision as 20" look so good but im sure 19" will ride a little better.
I was told i should get 245/30/20 for the front and 275/30/20 for the back. Did you go 10" in the back? I appreciate everyones help

Sumitomo HTR Z III for the tires as i live in florida its basically summer all the time and get great reviews and super cheap lol. I hope it doesnt need a hub adapter as my mechanic said spacers and hub adapters are bad? I have never put them on before let me know I apprecaite the feedback so far

20's fit the car perfect IMO. The tough part is figuring out the offset and tire size. I cam pretty close to zero rubbing without modifying or pulling the fender wells and plastic liners.
Sorry for the bad iPhone picture.

20's are perfect for the e60. I have had OEM 18's originally, then 20's, now 21's, and my next set will be 18's. The 20's when I had them felt the same as the 18's with run flats as far as stiffness goes. Now the 21's on the other hand..way more feeling of the road. Not for everyone.
