22" 3 piece "rotor" wheels built by ADV1, designed by RSQuattro
285/30 continental DWS
ignore the michelin pilots in the pics, they were 265/30 and did not fill the wheel well very well. 295/30 pilots had too much rubbing once lowered despite rolling fenders.
The continentals have worked out the best, and the car has been lowered since the pics with the H&R lowering module
Yes, Navin ride comfort will suffer as the sidewalls have less flex. Also consider an increased chance of wheel damage due to striking a curb or pothole at speed.
Performace will change as the final drive ratio changes due to the larger wheels. Higher top speed and slower 0-60 time. Though this may go unnoticed. Remember to recalibrate the speedometer.

how do I recalibrate? Been told it can’t be done. I went from my 22’s to factory 19’s and it’s about 10mph over
The trick is to keep the outside diameter (OD) the same. So to start, if your car came with 21s, then it was likely either 265-35/21 (28.3" OD) or 275-35/21 (28.7" OD). If you go up to 22s, you'd go with 265-30/22 (28.3" OD) or 285-30/22 (28.7" OD). Going down to 19s, you'd want to run with 235-50/19 (28.3" OD) or 245-50/19 (28.6" OD). That way your speedo stays more or less spot-on. I use this site to calculate OD and offset in my search for new wheel fitment: https://tiresize.com/wheel-offset-calculator/
What size tires do you currently have on those 19s? And just curious, why'd you switch?
