Wheel size question

[Silentdizzy]

Hello ladies and gents, in a previous post I made I asked about the style 61 wheels I had bought for my e36 328is. Unfortunately I screwed up because I didn't take into account the wheels offset and the wheels I bought don't fit my car. I would like to upgrade my wheels to 17" from the 16" I have. Would I be able to safely run 17" wheels without having to roll my fenders and keeping my standard suspension? Also what tire size would be recommended? Thanks for suggestions guys. I know my question is pretty vague.:help

As long as the offset is correct 17" wheels with a 225/45R17 tire will fit fine. If I can help let me know.

Ok, thank you for the information. I was looking though the tire rack website and most of the tires I like seem to have a 40mm offset which should work.

The 40mm offset should be fine. If i can help let me know.
