19" or 20"s on an E63.... Your thoughts?

Ok, time for wheels and I curious as to people's thoughts on 19's vs 20's

What say you? and why?

I'll run 255/35/19 f and 285/30/19

or 245/30/20 f and 315/25/20

or, open to suggestions......

18s for traction
20s for looks
19s for a compromise of the two

where do you live?

In northeast and midwest, I'd stick with 18s

otherwise I'd get 19s

I got 19's on mine from the previous owner. He did an amazing job on picking the rims, I get at least 2 compliments weekly on the rims and I only drive 10 miles a day tops. BUT it really depends on where you live. If you live in the east coast, or any other pothole ridden area I would highly recommend going with 19s. If you live in a smooth 6 lane highway type of area like Florida or any other southern states you can easily pull off 20's. Either way I'd love to see what you go with. Post pics when you get a chance.

Seems like it's your dd, so I wouldn't go any bigger than 19s. What brand wheels you looking At?

Oh okay. Yes, 19s here. Had some aftermarket 18s before and they just didnt cut it. Once lowered 19s are the perfect size in my opinion.
