capebimmer,
Are those rims stronger than stock 18" rims... i like 19inch but kinda worried about if it will bend easily?
also, what offset do i need to get?

My Ride: 07 550i Ti Grey SP.
05 4.4 X5
From what I understand the diamater of the tire should not change more than 3% from the stock tire size.
Here is a really good tire size calculators where you can compare different sized tires to stock tires.

Reality is that there is lots of information out there, and a somewhat inexact science. I never thought my setup would work out with so few hitches, but it could have just as easily gone the other way. Hope this helps.

According to the calculator,
going from 17' to 20'(245/35/20 front and 275/30/20back) is way off.
That calculator is saying that my difference will become 9.99%
Way over the 3% suggested limit.
It also says that my speed would lower by 11% meaning when im going 60, i will actually be at 54.
Does this mean everybody going from 17's to 20 are having this problem?

Hi,
This might be a silly question, but planning on getting 19" rims to fill the wheel gap better.. the question is i dont want to compromise the ride... Is it possible to get a 19" rim with 245/40 in front and 275/35 in the rear? I noticed that that most 19" rims are 245/35 front and 275/30 in the rear. With those configuration kinda afraid that you will bend the rims more easily. thanks

You just need to be careful with the rims - but the same goes for the 18's as well

My Ride: 2005 545i Sport, Premium, Logic 7, Jet Black, Black Leather, M-Aero Kit, 15% (very dark) Tint, Eichbach Lowering Springs, Red Brake Calipers, Radenergie R-10's, Michelin PilotSport2 in 245/35/20 and 285/30/20, Rolled Fenders, and a nifty Graco Baby Car Seat.
Next Up: Xenon fogs, Eisemann Exhaust, iPod Interface, Comfort Seats.
Does this mean I am a fool to be running 20's on my 545i sport when the stock wheels were 18's?
