    Style 19 17x8 on e36

    Hi, I'm hoping to run 245/40/17 on these on my e36 I'm wondering if they will fit with a fender roll or if I need to use flares any input is appreciated.

    Thanks in advance

    Meh, 245s on an 8" wide wheel is a little overkill. Plus the +20 offset on style 19s is a little low, fitting a 245/40 with that low of an offset will be tough.

    You would be better off with a 17x8.5 and a bit higher of an offset.

    I plan on fender flares and 10mm spacers all the way around

    I've ran 245's on a 7.5 ds2 with Bridgestone potenzas due to the stiffer sidewall on these tires I didn't have any roll over issues on the track or in daily situations

    245's on style 19's will be hard to fit, regardless of the tire. You'll need some serious fender work, you mentioned flares so it might not be an issue, but you wont get them under stock fenders. You're talking about an effective end ET of +10. The 7.5 DS2's you run now are +41. The outside edge of your wheel/tire will be 31mm (1.2") closer to the fender. You can get a full set of rear DS2's in 8.5 with 41 offset and clear 245's and most 255's under stock fenders, much easier solution IMO, and I'm pretty sure DS2's are lighter than Style 19's.
