Yes I love the look of 19" but I also love the drive and don't want to lose that. Will I notice a difference?

You'll notice it a little bit if you use a bigger wheel, but like Greg said, it'll still be comfy on a F series. On an E series it was a hard ride but an F series can take it because the tire wall is thicker.

depends on what your roads look like.

if you have rough roads, opt for a 45 sidewall 18 inch tire. otherwise, you will be fine with a 35-40 sidewall 19 inch rim.

19s all the way! I had 18s (400m) and they were too small for our cars. I jump into 19s 442m now 437m.

BMW uses 14x1.25 lug bolts. those are lug nuts with 12x1.5.

you would have to get 14x1.25 studs reduced to 12x1.5 if you want that.

don't recommend
