Re: Tyres on e89

Hi all, I am so sianz wif my 17".
To go 18 seems the economical way and not really forgoing the comfort....but seems like 1" more don't really sound exciting or better looking.
19" stagger as explained by AC ( thank you for the explanation) will be expensive, look fantastic but hows the ride?
I stay in East Coast and most of the Zs I see are using the stock 17.

Any suggestions, opinions etc? If you are using 17"( why don't change) then theres the 18", 18 staggered? 19 etc?

If U are intending to Upgrade.. Go straight to 19" staggered.. Sart Sart No Laugh!!!

Don't worry about the $$$ difference from a 18" set up... at most $1k difference but the visual and handling difference is definitely there... if u change to 18", I guarantee u will regret after a while especially when u see My SART SART rims!!!
( PS: Bro C3PO 's Rims More SART SART than mine...)

Here's some example of Staggered set-up.. mainly the rear rims are more Concave or More deepdish than the Front.
