Can it be done? I've heard 19s are the max without having to raise the car, but on Tirerack.com it shows 20 inch wheels whenever I put in 2006 BMW 330i sedan. Also, would it have a significant impact on handling?

My manager had a 2007 328i coupe and had a pair of 20 inch rims on there...looked

very nice, just becareful for speed bumps. You will have very limited space between

your tires and you car

That shouldn't be the case if your tire size is correct for the wheel size.

It can be done, but it won't handle well.

overkill IMO. 19 are perfect looks wise but for performance, 17 or 18 max.

19inch tires are mad expensive though. I'll probably just try to find some nice 18s.

Yeah they are but then you were considering 20s! 18s are the best choice IMO.

I would worry a lot more about the limited space between the rim and the road...you'll bend a rim guaranteed

I was under the impression that 19 inch tires cost more because it's sort of an oddball size. Oh well, I'll try to find some nice 18s

18"s would be best for performance, 19"s would look better IMO since it is a somewhat of a big car.
