Dear all

I need yoru advice.

I am considering to update the current 18' to 19' wheel. Not sure would that affect the suspension system. Do I need to make adjustment? I drive 530i

Your kind sharing would be highly appreciated.

Should be a 'straight swap' but you'll probably have to stop using 'runflat' tyres - this is not a bad thing but you'll need some form of spare!

You need to make sure the rolling circumference is close to the originals. Which 18"s have you got?

Yes, factory sport suspension - but mine's a UK model...

If you already have 245/40's then the best option IMHO is 245/35/19 and 275/30/19 (This is the factory option for 19" in the UK - interestingly not offered in the States)
