I've heard some ppl say they do....is it better/safer to go 19"?

 

Oh it depends on so many many things, that it's impossible to say yes/no.
Do some searching on this forum and I think you'll get the answer for you.

And welcome to the E60forums!

 

depend on your offsets, tires size , and how lower your car is...

 

No rub on mine... 20x8.5 fronts ET20 with 245/30/20 and 20x10 rears ET20 with 285/25/20.

 

Never had any problem....

 

I have minor rubbing once in a while but nothing to worry about. welcome and enjoy the forums.

 

welcome newby.. where ya from.. ?

 

As stated above, when done with the right combination of wheel offset, tire size and lowered stance.....shouldn't rub, even with a full load.

Btw, my 20" Asanti wheels are for sale and have the perfect offset for the e60! . Click on the link below for details.
