18s/19s on stock suspension?

335i e90 lci jet black on oem 17s
stock non sport suspension

anyone throw on wheels before a drop? i was thinking getting 18s/19s to get rid of the wheel gap. if you have pictures please post them

i don't mind performance at all... and i figured throwing on larger wheels and changing out my RFs would improve driving feel so what's there to lose?

The overall tire diameter isn't going to be that much different so going up on wheel size won't fill in much of the fender gap. You'll just have more wheel and less tire sidewall, unless you also go up a size on tires.

look at the private owners for sale board... get some stock sport suspension (no more than $200) and the difference will be night and day.
