Here are some options:

My BMW 328i x-drive...

First photo shows OEM 19" 403s (225/40 R19 Front, 255/35 R19 Rear)

Second photo shows OWM 18" 400s (225/45 R18 square)

Ride height is perfect for daily driver. Haven't hit the ground yet pulling in and out of driveways. Car would be sexier 10mm lower though.

those look great! I have been toying around with lowering the car, but Charleston roads are shite in many places. This is my daily driver and I need it to be livable. With my mods now, the car is plenty zippy, but I am worried that if I lower the car, it'll feel like driving a brick.

What tires are those, by the way? They compliment the car very well

Hey they're all OEM spec so the 19's are Bridgestone and the 18's were Pirellis.

I went with non-RFT for the Potenzas. The ride was night and day.

it looks like switching to 19s make a big difference from the 18s in terms of wheel gap. I need to look into this.

19" wheels will help close the gap. For precise control of suspension height, coilovers will be the logical next step. If you want to retain OEM height, KW Street Comfort coilovers are worth exploring.

This is stock xdrive? I've been thinking about dinan springs and B8s for better handling a minor drop

Yeah I've thought about going Dinan as well.

Yes my cars bone stock X-Drive suspension. Strictly replacement of rims and brake assembly. Haven't touched shocks or added spacers.
