19 inch wheel difference

Looks good to me. What do you think? Stock suspension, no plans on lowering it.

Even better -- some prefer the lower drop, but I think this is just fine. I am going to do something like this once I take delivery. I've got the non-ZSP 325i coming and I want to put on the 195s or 193s -- choices!

stock non-sport suspension. 19 inch staggered. I was planning on lowering it with H & R springs but when I installed it, I dont think I would. Nice handling too.

Did 20's ever cross your mind? If so, can you tell me why you didn't go with them?

Also, what are the rest of the details? Offsets, Tire sizes. . .

I have a non-sport 330i but still haven't decided if I should get 19's or 20's.

its crazy how some wheel designs really make the wheels look smaller then they are. these REALLY dont look like 19's. but i wouldnt see why the guy would lie.

I thought for a while there that the rims wont fit the fender. But when they were installed, it was worth every penny

I think the car looks fine. I am very impressed with the look of 19 inch wheels on the E90. I think this new body style has such a modern look that the larger wheels work much better than on other cars.

Even more impressive is how the BMW suspension doesn't really need to be lowered any further. I have the sport suspension and there is hardly any wheel gap at all (but I still have the 18's).
