2014 SE Sport Touring, show me your wheels
Discussion
I have recently bought a 2014 320D SE Sport touring and after a few months of ownership, I have totally fallen for it. It's a fantastic car and a great place to be on a long or short drive.
My car came with 17" wheels, they look fine, but I have always felt that wheels make a car. With that in mind, I am considering changing to either 18" or 19" wheels. I know 18s will go on without any need to lower the car, but I need to know if it will make muck difference to the 17 wheels. 19s will go on ok as well, but as its not an M sport car, will it need to be lowered for the 19s to look ok?
Do you have pics of your SE Sport with 18s or 19s and have you had to lower it?
Thanks in advance!

Not an SE but our F31 M Sport sitting on Bilstein B4S shocks with Eibach Pro kit springs as pert of a full suspension overhaul in Jan 2024
Summer - 18 405Ms with Goodyear Assym6 F1 XL tyres - 235/45/18s all round

And on its winters - 18 397s with Goodyear Vector Gen3 all season tyres - same sizes as above

I'd always highly recommend 18s due to more tyre sidewall, comfier drive, and IMO better handling and turn in feel... And I'd recommend the Bilstein / Eibach combo too - much better than OEM

Looks fantastic on 18's, does help a lot that it's lowered though.
This is my daily driver and I have a modified WRX that I tend to spend all my money on, so I am worried about going down the modified rabbit hole with the F31.
I would like to just pop a setoff 18s on there and be happy with it, but I know it won't sit like yours for sure lol!

Is yours an xDrive, SE or M Sport (there's no such thing as an SE M Sport, it's one or the other)This is my daily driver and I have a modified WRX that I tend to spend all my money on, so I am worried about going down the modified rabbit hole with the F31.

This is how the F31 sat before the suspension overhaul, on OEM M Sport suspension
And on the 405Ms in their original factory satin black
That should give you an idea
