My Ride: 2007 530i.
I'm preparing to ditch my 19" staggered TSW's and go for 20's. If I have a non sport 525i and intend on lowering it with sport springs, can I get away with 20's or should I just look for better 19's?
I'm looking at either a set of Beyern Mesh 20's or Moven 20's with a polished lip and black spokes.
The guy has a set of Beyens with 245 3520's for 1K with 3000 miles on em.
The other wants 1K for a set of staggered Moven w/o tires.

Good call with the 20"s and it can be lowered. Busta has the same setup as you want: 525 non-sport, H&R springs, and 20" wheels.

Vegas,
I was just going through some past posts and read about that rubbing issue.
What are the chances that I will have that issue and is it just a matter of offsets?
I think the rims were 8.5 front 10 in the back.

I'd say get your wheels first before you decide to drop. Would you happen to know what the offsets are for each of the wheels you're interested in? I know people with 10x20 and lowered that aren't rubbing.

I'm working on the Os numbers right now. I'm catching on, the 19's will leave a big gap, bu the 20s might fill it in just right.
