Hi

I worried about it too (as mine has standard suspension), however having done the switch from the factory 17's I never looked back! Best thing I ever did - given my needs from a car for the moment I don't have an upgrade path! (why would I go to an M5 now????)

Cheers

how is the ride quality w/ the 19"? beside better handling to u feel more crap on the road?

 

the ride is BETTER on my 19s than on my stock 18" run-flats. do it, you'll never look back. the sport suspension is enough of a drop that there won't be a huge fender gap. some (actually most) of the pictures above are of cars that don't have the sport suspension.

here's mine on stock sports suspension and 19s:

 

I just upgraded from 18" to 19" and I can't feel any more road than before. That was actually a surprise to me!
Both sets were non-runflats. Go for it!

 

IMO you can easily run 19s on stock suspension. I don't think the car needs to be lowered at all as the wheels are large enough to fill the wheel well. With that said, if you want a complete look, definitely throw some springs on there.

 

thanks..so a fellow miami guy..to many 5's in our city wouldnt u agree..
