Hows the ride quality on 19's?

[707goat]

Quick question for all of those who are experienced...how's the ride quality on 19 inch wheels with eibach or SLP springs (lowered 1 inch)? Shitty as hell? Bareable? not so bad? Also, i know its a dumb question, but did you have to roll/ cut your fenders front and rear??? Thanks!

It sucks! you need to cut the shit otta yur fenders and you'll jar your brains out for sure.......

I'm joking.....Not sure about the lowering thing but riding on 19's isn't bad unless you drive on crappy roads everyday.

It depends if you like the nice smooth ride of stock, or actually want to feel the road underneath you. You'll certainly notice a lesser smooth ride quality with 19's and being lowered, but it's all up to personal opinion. To me I prefer 18's.

Ride quality is the same as the stock 17s, however I avoid any and all potholes, etc.

Handling performance is significantly improved.

Compliment factor went up by a factor of 10.

No fender cutting needed here, even with 275's out back, which BTW, add quite a bit of bite off the line.

What offset did u get for the F/R rims

Not to much different from my 17's but I avoid really rough pavement. On 17's I always felt like I was floating on air and car would wander. 19's are much more stable at speed.

also depends on what type of 19's your running on...an high performance all season is going to ride hella better than a extreme performance summer tire.

Mine felt fine, i never had any problems, didnt have to do any suspension mods. And yeah you do get alot more comments, with the beyerns I got asked alot what kind of bmw it was.

I just happen to ride on a set of TSW volcanos with Fuzion ZRi and the ride is a little rough, when I run over the queen of hearts she gives a little but the jokers those guys are punishing. Big wheels are great for high speed stability, not so good for braking, acceleration, turning...
