Sold my 19s that i ran with 245 35 zr19,

now going with 17" rims

5x120 17x8,

What new tire size should I be running?

I have no idea how to figure this out after two hours of research lol,

my best guess,

would 235/55/ZR17 work?

Thanks,

- Philip

For a e36 328 I would run 225/45/17 or 245/40/17 but the 225s turn better and give better balance given the power of the m52.

Btw, I have yoko s-drive 245/40/17 if you're interested.

^^ Is that based on the car specs or the rim size?

Sorry im just really unfamiliar with these calculations!
