VMR V710 19 x 9.5 (35) or 20 x 9(30) for 550xi all season

After a lot of looking, VMR can build a set of V710 with DWS 06. I would like feedback from anyone that has running a square all season setup on their 550XI. Would you go with 19 x 9.5 (33) or 20 x 9 (35), () is the offset on each.

Anyone gone 20s then wished for 19s or vice versa? I am only mildly lowered, 3/4 inch on Dinan springs. Also, what setup have you been running for tires? On the 19 x 9.5 assume a 275/35-19 and on the 20, a 255/35-20 is what I have been looking at.

I would recommend 9x20" wheels with 255/35-20 tires!

I have a square 8.5x20" setup with 255 tires on my F11, but with Michelin PSS.

What did you decide? I'm also looking at the v710s and am trying to decide between the 19s and 20s.

Went with the 20" x 9" square setup, looks perfect on 5 series.

are you able to get some custom offsets made or are they already preset for make and model? other thing is i see you're in Chicago...how are the roads out there? 19" you got plenty of side wall when i comes to bad roads. with 20's you'll have less sidewall to protect you from potholes and what not. post some pictures when you get them on!

I ordered pre-made for BMW but I believe that VMR will do customer, obviously at higher cost I would assume. Here is a quick profile pic, taken with phone so please excuse the quality.

I'm running 20x9 front and 20x10.5 rear. Offsets are +35. Rear is flush. Fronts a 10-12mm spacer would make them flush. I'm in Chicago as well and just bent my rim on a pothole last week. Not happy about that

Looks great! Watch out for those potholes! Destroyed a few tires with this car and the crappy roads in the city.
