20 Vs 19 inch Rims: Ride quality, weight, performance, risk for a flat or a damaged R
I trying to make my mind, the 20 look great but everything else is a minus.
I live in an area with some bad roads and I also drive through neighborhoods that being stranded with a flat is not the most pleasant/safe experience. Anyone have issues with the 20s, I would love to get them but my mind is saying don't. Thanks |

Just do it!
I had the same dilemma, and now I have 20 759 rims. It rides incredibly smooth, much better than my old 535 GT on 19, I'm extremely pleasantly surprised by ride quality on 20" wheels. |

I was looking at a 540 with 20" on it before I decided with the one with the 19".
Personally for me it won't matter since I will change the wheel anyway. Also the one with the 20" was having less options then the one with the 19". IMO, the 20" looks funny since the tire is a little bit narrrow, which causing the tires looked stretched. With the 19", the tire and wheel looks bigger. Ride wise, I can't comment, because I didn't test drove it back to back. Now I am getting aftermarket 20" wheel on mine. The tire size will be 245/35-20 and 285/30-20. I think with that size, it will looks better and ride even better since it won't be a run flat tires.

But it also may be less stretched since it won't be run flat tire. The wheel I am going with will be 20x9 and 20x10.5.

I don't have issues with 20'' rims with my car and it's a sport car. It's very comfortable aside from when I put it in sport mode and drive over the bumps or bad patched roads. However it came with non run flat tires, it came with conventional tires.
In this logic, G30 being a tech packed sedan must feel very comfortable, my G30 hasn't arrived yet therefore I can't get my hands on to share my thoughts.

For what it is worth, I had a test drive on 20s with a car fitted with vdc and was impressed.( UK roads which are not great frequently)

I just ordered 20" style 668M wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S non-runflat tires today and asked the dealer to put these on before I collect my car.
I sure hope the ride will not be very harsh I can tell how the ride is when i get my car mid of July.

Better than F10 with 19s... Better than any car I have owned on any rims.
I hit a hole a couple days ago that had that hard bang, but the Goodyear Eagle F1 shows no issues. For me... so far... you can have the looks and the comfort... and I don't have DHP or DDC, just M-Sport. My winter scenario and experience is less clear... it will certainly add cost either way, but I will need to decide if I should go with the 20" rft winter tire, a 20" Non-rft winter even though I did not choose the spare, or a new rim/tire winter package of a smaller size. |

I'm about to order mine this week. I have a 2012 911 Turbo that "lives atmy house in Fort Luderdale because of the Boston roads. I'm leaning toward the 20's on the M550 but my mind is saying STOP....Winter.....$$$$$ change out. My 2 Msports I was able to downsize with a set of BMW OEM rims from Craigslist and run for 6 years on Michelin Ice with no issues. I will now resell them.This car too new to find a downsize deal. Last 2 cars never left dealer with rFT's on them. Straight to Pilot SS. Thoughts on 19 or 20s? Not a snowbird. work in both States. Thanks.
