18" Or 19" 313's For A Stock E92 335XI?

Hey guys, I have a 2013 335XI M-Sport coupe currently with style 193M wheels and factory staggered set up. My plan is to purchase either 18" or 19" style 313's but I am weary of how 19" 313's will look on a stock suspension E92 XI (I don't plan on lowering it). My question is what size set of 313's should I go with if I do not plan on lowering my car anytime soon? Picture examples would also be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

18's
The 19's are harsh when i comes to ride quality. Plus the upsize in tire cost is ridiculous!

19s with RFTs are an absolutely brutal ride. Probably better with regular tires.

I'm thinking of going with 18x8 and 18x8.5 for the style 313's, but they must have the M sticker. 19's just don't look right to me on stock XI suspension and I don't want to mess with my suspension at all.

I don't know what you're talking about. here's mine...on 19s. even better when I changed out the tires.

I prefer 18s, perfect balance between aesthetics, weight, cost and practicality. Since the 313's don't have a lip, 18's don't even look that small like other wheels.

19's look better but 18's are more comfortable.

Here was my E92 on stock suspension. 19" 313's.





And then I installed KW V1's shortly after that.









I would vote 19's if you're going to lower it (which I know you said you aren't) or 18's if you don't. I think the larger wheel diameter you go, it looks worse and worse on the E92 on stock suspension.

I wouldn't worry about the comfort of 19's vs 18's. I run 18's in the winter and while yes, the 18's are a softer ride (partly due to being a smaller diameter and partly due to them being snow tires) the 19's in the summer aren't overly rough if you've ditched the run flats.

Thanks for the detailed reply. I'm now more open to lowering my car, and I believe the KW V1's are all around the best way to do this. You simply can't cheap out when lowering a car.

How much did you lower your E92 with the KW V1's? The wheel gap looks perfect.
