Best looking wheel size 428i
I am considering buying wheels for my 428i. What looks best 18 or 19" wheels.
Is there honestly much of a difference between 18" or 19" on size? I don't have any modifications to the suspension. Why tire size would you recomen? Thanks for any advice up front. Picture of my car attached |

the difference between 18 and 19 is 1" of diameter, 1/2" of radius which equates to less 1/2" tire wall on a 19 compared to 18. all things equal...yes, there is a difference in looks, performance, ride and cost. are you planning on lowering or not? can't recommend tire sizes until you decide between 18 or 19, square or staggered, widths, offsets, what type of use(i.e. just looks, daily driver, spirited driving, track) and what category of tire you're going to get, summer or all-season... and most importantly, what is your budget, to include wheels, tires, maybe tpms? |

I am interested in all weather wheels, daily driver, most likely staggered wheels and I think I am almost convinced to go with 19". Trying to do this on a budget, looking for used wheels and will get tires afterwards. |

To save money check out craigslist and Facebook marketplace. Lots of good deals in 18 " and 19" sizes especially if you pick up from a local seller. Tires and wheels are expensive to ship.

Or buy wheels with correct width and offset to begin with.

Might want to consider +40 to +45 on the rear if they have it as your car is not lowered. For tires... considering want you posted +35 rear....stock suspension anything wider than stock will poke out more |
