[QUOTE="andrewk, post: 481096, member: 3188"] Bro, I swap the stock 16" to 18" with 245/45/18 all round on stock suspension setting and non staggered BMW rims (style 95). Didn't change the suspension setting after the swap. I'm running Nexun on the front (cheaper lor) and PP2 on the rear. Hardly any road noise, but that has probably got to do with the good sound dampening of the E38 rather than the tyres. Ride is still comfortable and handling is acceptable for what its used for (daily car, fetching wife n kids around). Wife didn't complain so ride must be still ok. Body roll is definitely there when pushed, but still very well within control (tks to BMW's engineering). But you do lose the "magic carpet" ride that you get on the 16". Can't complain as it's the cheapest option, but only if u dun mind the 'pajero' stance! hahah!! That's why some of us have the "other car" to do crazy stuff in... ;) [/QUOTE]
