Hi I have searched for info but can?t find why is 19" wheels recomended over 20" from BMW
Some tuners have 20" and others dont :think: And why do M5 and B5 have 19" and not 20" 1: Is it lighter and perform and handels better 2: To big for the fenders and could couse rubbing 3: Could it affect comfort 4: Could performance be affected due too slowly acceleration and topspeed :think: |
I think mainly comfort :thumbsup:

none, it is just BMW does not recommended.
Hartge, ACS, HAMANN and others offer 20-21" in 20" unless you have the FA 245/30 ZR 20 / RA 285/25 ZR 20 it will not rub, whenever I will finaly have mine the rear and only those have to be rolled, but will be done by specialists you can imagine :D As comfort concerned if you do not wanna fly over roadbumps there is no issue, the comfort and the speed is perfect! :thumbsup: |
IMO, 20's are inferior to 19's on a regular 5er in all ways except possibly looks--and that is debateable. 20's are losers from a performance perspective in all ways unless a car is designed for them--acceleration slower, handling worse, feel worse, and braking worse. They also cost more. If I had it to do over, I'd stick with 18's and a higher profile tire than my 19" PS2's for comfort--not that the PS2's are particularly uncomfortable.

the bigger the wheel, the heavier it is
ever notice how race cars don't have big wheels? |
I think I will go for 19" becouse the comfort and performance. I cant remember but as znod said breaking and handling perfomance will be affected whith 20"
