    BMW Style 122 Wheels - tire size to fit??

    Just picked up a set of style 122 wheels - 17 x 8 et20 with Michelin 245/45/17's mounted. Thought they would bolt right up but have incurred some slight rubbing on strut. Would another size tire alleviate this problem?? Any suggestion for correct tire size to eliminate rub would be greatly appreciated if anyone else is running these wheels.

    TIA,
    mark
