18' or 19"on my e90 320i

Re: 18' or 19"on my e90 320i

Don't just compare sizes this way. Too simplistic.

Compare against:

~ wheel weight (forged 19"s may be lighter than cast 18"s)

~ tyre weight (your 19"s tyre model might be same weight as your 18"s tyres)

~ distribution of weight on your wheels - even or heavy lipped? An evenly distributed monoblock 19" wheel might face lesser rolling inertia than an 18" wheel with heavy barrel/lip

Re: 18' or 19"on my e90 320i

remember to go for staggered set up for your rims

Hi, may I know what's the adv for staggered set up? I do not know why but just do it when Mr Yxxx advice so.

Hi, that's really a deep edu. I just go for the change becos I really can't stand the replica from the prev owner (sorry if I flame anybody). The seller still got the cheek to tell me it's genuine!

Took over a staggered set from an ex 335 owner, if I never hear wrongly, also advice to go for JB, but then understood N46 re map can do the job, correct me if I'm wrong.

Back to yr reply. Thanks for the advice, really can feel the diff, in terms of handling. Going for coilover now, hee hee hee ...

hi all just got a staggered 18' from top 93,HRE replica

i tink staggered is for stability and drivability,which mean back rims is wider

Prefer 19 as well. Ride wise more stable then 18 though FC went up by 5%.
By the way was on 18 non staggered so not sure whether it was due to 19 non staggered now that resulted in above changes.

Re: 18' or 19"on my e90 320i

Does having 19" rims means that the fuel consumption will be higher? How much more expensive will the tyres cost?
