I'm going to look at an e36 M3 tonight that I might purchase for my daily driver. It's going to need all four wheels replaced, and I'm thinking about a 17"x9" square setup all around.

For those who are running 9" wheels on all four corners, what tire sizes are you running?

Thanks!

I'm running 255/40-17 Bridgestone RE01R's on 17x9 ET41 D-Force LTW5's.

No rubbing. Needs a 5-10mm front spacer to clear everything. My rear fender lips are rolled but I think they'd fit without that.

Im running the 255/40/17 Advan Neova AD07s on 17x9 SSRs. Fit fine with 12-18mm spacer up front (and GC/konis), and out back I run no spacer, and had to roll the fenders and hammer the inner fender till it touched the outer fender.

For the street Id run 245/40/17s on 17x9s. Running the hankooks, or maybe the new dunlops.

I am actually rolling on 235/40/17 on SSR Comps... I know I should have gone bigger but They are Azenis RT-615's and I autocross so I don't expect them to last too long. we shall see next time I need new tires which will be right before next winter I bet.

no rolling, no spacers

falken tires run smaller thats why no rolling needed.

Most 235/40-17s can be stretched on to a 9.5 wide wheel with no issues.
