Winter tires for 2003 M3

[ROCKV7]

Any suggestions on tire/wheel combo for a 2003 M3. I have 19" now but will probably need to go to 17" or 18" - I know the 19" w/ current tires won't do in the Chicago winters. Thanks,

The best set up I would have is in the 17" with 225/50R17 all the way around. The best priced package would be with the Mille Miglia Spider II and the Dunlop Winter Sport at 1,272.00 plus about 60.00 shipping. Everything is in stock and ready to go. I like the Dunlop and the Blizzak tires on the M3 because they will handle the ice and snow without giving up all of the performance in the dry.
If I can help let me know.

Jim,

I still have my Mille Miglia MM11-2 Sport 17x9 that I used for a 2000 528i. Would I be able to use these wheels and just get the snow tires?

You would need a different front wheel but the rear would work.
