Congrats! Welcome to the club

What tires and tire size did you go with?
I am in Boston and have 18" wheels with runflats (horrible RFTs). If I go to 19-20" wheels, will Northeast roads (potholes, lumps) make driving not so great? How do you fare in Long Island?

My Ride: E61 535d sport, Silver Grey/grey/maple. 20" Hartge Nova 7. Previously 19" staggered 172s

19s with non-RF ride better than 18 RFs for sure and I would expect to be no worse on potholes (we have loads here...). If roads are really bad, put 18 non-RFs on the standard rims.
20s may be an inch too far though.
