what tire size?

[orbphobic]

All,

I am looking to get some new tires for my car and I no longer want to go with the stretched look option. I am not sure what tires to get for the car without rubbing.

My rear fenders have been rolled but not pulled. I was thinking of running 225/45/17 in the front with the current spacers, and 235/45/17 in the rear without any spacers.

What do you think?

My rim specs are:
BBS style19
17" et20 8.0 front +12 mm spacers
17" et26 9.0 rear + 15 mm spacers

Suspension:
Bilstein Shocks
HR Sports kit
20mm spring pads in the rear

Im assuming your "M332" is an E36? and how did you get 9.5" wide style 19's?

Yes it is. E36 M3. As for the rims, I bought them from a guy a couple of months ago and those were the specs.

I checked and BMW never made them in 9.5 so that's my mistake.

Here are the real specs.

BBS style19
17" et20 8.0 front +12 mm spacers
17" et26 9.0 rear + 15 mm spacers

Is there really no one on this entire forum that has knowledge about tire sizes and fitment?

First off the wheels are way too far off on offset to say what is going to fit without sticking out of the wheel well. The best size for the car is 225/45R17 and 245/40R17 rear. They will fit the car correctly bu with that low of an offset even with a fender lip roll they could rub.
