But if you go for BMW 19" casted wheels with rft, then don't bother......

no problem... mlai stated correctly.. go with forged wheels (like volks) as they are lighter than stocks... but, you see, no matter how you sliced it your f10 performance would suffer with 20" unless you go with either 19" or 18" forged..

simonlam ask your bm salesman to give you the factory dimensions of the tires sizes for 19", and there are only two options for 19", wider rear or four the same, you choose and change them before inspection, and legalized them at once.
i had the same case as yours, i opted 19" for china roads as suggested by the wheels supplier. |

The rear of the non xi version can accommodate the 275 tyres but it doesn't mean you need one. Can use the square setup like 245 all round.

One more thing, if the car is lowered then it will look better because of smaller gap between fenders, maybe that's why the 19 look small in that pic.

This is the poison I was talking about, his name is mlai.
Maybe you can ask mlai to sell you the wheels he don't use, it's practically brand new.
