I need help on decide on 19" or 20" rim. My car is 2008 535I with sport package and stock. I don't want the tires to rub when I have full load and my wife sometime drive it when I'm driving my other BMW (2000 Dinan3) car. Thanks Vinny

both can be done easily without rubbing issues with the correct tire sizes and rims
19 inches will have a smoother ride than 20 inches because of tire profile. 19 inches will also have less chance of rim bending on pot holes if you have a lot in the area you live.
thats about it. check out a few pics of ppl's rides and see if you can live with the 19' rim. if you can't, then go for 20" rim.

I live in Manhattan so I ride 19s which still don't havbe enough pothole protection for the battered streets of NYC (two of my OEM 172 are currently at the wheel refinisher (Wheel Fix It) to straighten out bends they suffered in only their first 7 months of use). 20s where I live are just out of the question for me. But if I lived in So Cal or So Florida, I'd definitely roll on 20s.
