The bigger the wheels, the harsher the ride, so keep in mind that you will be sacrificing comfort for appearance. My wife's 2003 525i Sportwagon (aka/Touring) with OEM 16" wheels and all-season tires provides a much more comfortable ride than my 2004 545i with OEM 18" style 124 wheels and high-performance Dunlop run flat tires. Even if I could go to a larger diameter rim, I wouldn't do it.

I know, I have no problem with this issue, my old E46 M3 which I sold last month had 19 inches wheels, and I have no problem with that. I think if I will put 20 inches on E61 the ride comfort will be probably same or maybe better. I just want to know If you can put of if there is enough room for 275 on rear instead of 245?
