Thoughts on upsizing the wheels (total diameter)

Hello all

I recently bought my 550i GT with came with winter tires only and I'm about to get summer tires. I'm considering to upsize total diameter for looks and would like to hear some opinions, or better, pictures.

The wheels are currently:
19" 245/45 Front
19" 275/40 Rear

I'm considering the two options:
1. Upsizing the tires only to 245/50 (front) and 275/45 (rear)
2. Upsizing the rim to 20" and stay on the 245/45 and 275/40 ratio

If anyone has done something similar, I'd appreciate the input.

So I've done the same exact thing you're trying to do it just needed a tiny spacer to clear some stuff in the wheel well I have the exact same setup you're going for you will just need a small spacer and will be good to go
