19"s or 20"s for the E92? (blk on blk)

Mturbo · 07-14-2013, 03:45 PM

I've always (for the most part) rode my cars stock, so I'm new to the tuning world.

Please give your advice on the best rim size for the E92. Also if anyone has had experience with this wheel company your comments are appreciated.

username604 · 07-14-2013, 03:57 PM

19's! 20 is a "plus" size.

07Bimmer328i · 07-14-2013, 03:57 PM

depends on your offset. 20's will clear but you may need to roll the fenders. 19's might be more ideal if you are lowering it.

Dark_Knight_335 · 07-14-2013, 03:58 PM

The difference between 19s and 20s are the difference between a fairly compliant ride with a little bit of discomfort and a ridiculously uncomfortable ride- feeling every road perfection in your jaw.

the "plus" means extra cool. lol

20" wheels are too big for the e9x platform. They don't even look good.

BMW000 · 07-14-2013, 04:21 PM

19's...the 20's would fit but are too big! If you live in the city, the streets will destroy your wheels and your ride quality will suffer! I just put a set of 19' Vertini Fairlady's on my e93; the ride is smooth and will also allow some clearance for lowering the car.

Mturbo · 07-14-2013, 04:26 PM

Now it's sounding logical. Anyone have anything good or bad to say about STR Wheel Company?

AndyR83 · 07-14-2013, 04:34 PM

I have 19's and I even find that they rub occasionally.

yep...those tires sizes are correct.

notnow · 07-14-2013, 07:22 PM

I went from 19's to 20's and the lack of comfort and increased road noise is unbearable. Stepped down to extremely heavy 19's with stretched tires and it was a night and day difference (good difference)... then I went for a beefy tire setup with lighter 19's and it was a night and day difference AGAIN. Car is now quiet and 10000000000000000x more comfortable than 20's, way more enjoyable than flying off my seat and feeling like I fell off my chair when going over pot holes.

BenTrovato · 07-14-2013, 10:18 PM

My opinion - this car does not handle 20's anywhere close to as well as it does 19's both in looks and ride feel.

captainaudio · 07-14-2013, 10:43 PM

I have 22's on my 335i.

The car looks ridiculous and is incredibly uncomfortable and handles like crap but I'm cool!

As soon as I get my rap record contract I'm going to install a 7 foot spoiler on the trunk.

Funny as hell. With that said, the bigger wheels make the car feel more ponderous and not as agile and throwable. That is why I am just sticking with the standard 18s.

fazman · 07-15-2013, 01:00 AM

OP, you need to move to the durtay south and get some 30's on yo ride quick, son! All the hood rats will then come run'n up and calling you big daddy...

The only other accessory you would need is a pimp hat with a feather, ya dig?

E90_boostjunky · 07-15-2013, 01:26 AM

20s look good only on an m3. But id deff go with 19s if I were you

Amini77 · 07-15-2013, 02:29 AM

19's and I think those wheels in silver would look really sick on a black e92.

+1 Even 19's IMO are borderline. I prefer 18's
