The inside door of my '95 325is has these as suitable tires for my vehicle.....
225/55 r15
205/60 r15
225/50 zr16
Yet I see people all around putting all different sizes on.
There is a guy on craigslist selling.....
225/45/17 Continental ContiProContact SSR Tires & 245/40/17 Khumo Tires for the front and rear that he says will fit my 3 series.
Will these fit? And what is the reason/benefit of having smaller sizes in the front and bigger in the rear? And how do I know what tires I can use on my vehicle?
For instance I have four used tires on another car that I would like to swap for mine. They are 225/60/r16. Would they fit on e36?
Thanks guys for your help.

The tire size that will fit will depend on what size wheels you have. The 225/60R16 is not going to fit on your car. If you have the 16" wheels you would need either 205/55R16 or 225/50R16. If I can help let me know.
