As the title states...looking for pics of aftermarket 20's on a sport suspension E60 that has NOT been lowered. I'm sure I've seen some but sometimes in pictures its hard for me to tell the difference between factory sport suspension and Eibach Prokit or H&R sport. Pictures of any 20's would be good, but more specifically, something with a lip. Thanks!

E60BEEMER, your car looks great! Slap some spacers on your wheels and change out your exhaust tips for some bigger ones and it'll be perfect!

Please DO NOT EVER SAY "DUBS" when talking about BMWs!

Here are a couple pics of my old 545 with sports package w/20" Radenergie R10s before I lowered it:

The car looks like it's on stilts. If you're contemplating on whether or not to lower it, DO IT!.

That's like saying DUB-DEUCES when "ROLLIN' ON 22s" in the *ahem* "YAY-AREA" representin' the *LOL* "Nickel-and-Dime" (510 East Bay). HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Sorry, couldn't help myself.

Anyway, back on topic ... although it appears somewhat more conservative, getting the effect of a great set of 20" rims won't be as dramatic if the car isn't lowered a little. Although my car only has 19" rims, its lowered stance looks more agressive and the car handles much better than stock.

Why does there seem to be so much variation in sport package ride height with bigger wheels/tires? FANTASTIC 5's car didn't look bad not lowered, but EuroCar fan -- it looks like you could have gone off road in that thing!
