I don't think I need 19" wheels?

Tires are getting close to being bald... thinking about new wheels... BBS CH-R Titanium at the top of the list.

I drive 80 miles a day round trip. Thinking 19" will be too harsh to an already stout ride.

I have 19s now. Definitely miss the comfort of the 17s and wish I went with the 18s

Yeah, I look at my car and think my 18s fill the wheel wells perfectly. Maybe it would look different with BBS CH-Rs?

Mine came with 19" and the runflats and the ride was pretty harsh and had we wishing that I had gone with 17". When it came time, I replaced the runflats with non-runflats and went to a taller size (235 fronts and 275 rear) and it resolved the harshness problem, the ground clearance over curb stops and driveway exits and generally puts more rubber down in general. I love the look and ride now. I went with the latest Michelin PS4S and could not be happier. If budget is an issue, go with 17's and they resolve all of the ride issues and cost a lot less each time you replace the tires.
