Should I step it up to 19's
Hey whats up I'm new. I have an 07 E550 and am wondering if I step up to 19's how badly will it affect the ride. Right now I have 18's so I consider that the mark to compare to as being perfect. I know that the ride will get rougher but I'm wondering if its still something that I can live with. Please E-class guys with 19's let me know because I want to hear from people who drive with them day in and day out with first hand experience. I hope to hear from some people.

Where do you live? Are the roads in good enough condition where you drive so that you don't have to worry about bending your rims all the time on bad roads with the larger wheels/lower profile tires? Constantly watching for bad road is tiring. (No pun intended.)

I have no issues to report, not too rough, but I really did not experience the car without them, I got them on 20 minutes after getting the car. I enjoy the ride and the wife has not yet complained, so I'm good.
I completely agree with Barry45RPM, here in SoCal the roads are very good, I would not venture with 30 series tires otherwise.

i have 19s...its so so i would say. u kind of have to watch the road all the time when u drive in LA. sometimes i wish i could do the 17" stock set up. but after u used to how 19" looks, its hard to go any lower! my personal opinion.
