Hi fellow fanatics,

Just had some 19 inch wheels fitted to my 330i on Friday. They are E90 M reps with Nexen N6000 235/35/19 on standard suspension. Im really surprised that the ride quality hasnt changed from my standard 17 inch OEM wheels.

Looking good bud!

My 330i had 17" style 44's and I switched over to 19" style 127 reps, ride was definitely affected and the car felt a lot more sluggish.. I assume the wheels were too heavy, glad to see you have no issues.

I ended up switching back to 17" and minus the look without the 19", no regrets.

Looks proper. Did you fit spacers aswell? Fitment looks perfect.

Hi Alex, no spacers. I shopped around for the perfect fit. The wheels are 8.5J all round with ET35

Yes, I dont think the 330i should have came with 17" to be honest. OP you are definitely going to see your fuel consumption take a knock as you increased the wheel size. Fuel consumption is most probably done on 17" as they are the smallest rim that can fit over our discs, cant go lower then that.

Car looks good and most probably WAY better then on the 17" wheels that left earth shattering gaps between the wheel and the arch. Congrats
