Will they fit?

[Cooljust]

I found a good deal on (2) 245/45ZR17 on CL. I have Kopi 17x7.5 on my E34 Touring (see below) and don't know if they'll fit on the rims. I want wider tires on the rear and love my rims but don't want to waste the money if it's not going to work for me. Do you guys know if these tires will fit on my rims?
Thanks!

Shouldn't be a problem putting them on, 7.5 is really the narrowest rim you should put a 245'er on so. The only thing that can be disturbing is if you don't like the looks how the tires bulge when they are too wide for the rim.

Thanks Miche, I'm not ready to part with my Kopis but the 235's on the rear look very anemic.

No problem.


Keep in mind, different tire makers may have a little wider than stated and some narrower, so some brands may fit or look better than others.
