    I think it might be 18's on an e36, at most 19's, but I think that would usually require getting the fenders rolled, so Im still gonna say 18's.

    I've got 18's, and there is still enough profile on the tire where the ride is not harsh. I've seen a lot of guys runnin 19s, 3 or 4 on just my college campus alone, but I think that is a little big to run every day on the street. I would definately go w/ 18s though, I love mine!

    Most likely 225/40s on 18s w/o any mods.

    I'm running 235/40/18s with no mods

    And i have the car lowered an inch. You should be able to run 235/35/19s with no problems as long as you don't drop the car too low.
