Suggestions on wheel size? 19's or 20's
Hey Guys,
I just wanted your opinion. Which looks better on an 06 E350, 19's or 20's. My car is lowered a little bit. Other than looks, is there a benefit to the 20's than the 19's?
Thanks for the help!

20's will look the most aggressive, if that's what you want. Keep in mind, that the larger the wheel, the thinner the sidewall will have to be to keep the integrity of the overall diameter of the stock wheel and tire. With 20's you're most likely gonna run 245/30/20 in the front and 275/25/20 in the rear. That, in my opinion is not enough sidewall to keep the ride comfortable. I have 19's running 245/35/19 and 275/30/19 and the ride is harsh. Much stiffer than my stock 17's. But I'm lowered a good amount too. If you're not lowered too much, I would say 19's would give the best compliment between comfort and looks.
