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.

if you took a poll, 19's would likely come out on top for "looks". however the look of wheels depends on more than just diameter. it's face, spoke style, widths, offsets, lip no, lip, tire size or sizes, if staggered.

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?

Thanks for the detailed response. It's given me a lot to think about.

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.

19s all day on the f32/33/36

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.

19x8.5" fronts & 19x9.5" rears staggered

35mm offset front and back

Will that require a fender roll?

No rolling necessary, just slap those puppies on

What tire size would you guys recommend for these rims?

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
