Deal came up locally for a set of 245/40/17 BFG R1S and I was wondering if that would be too pinched on a 8.5" wheel. I know that those tires run wide, I was just seeing if anyone had first hand knowledge with this setup. FYI, these will be going on a E46 330ci.
Totally doable I've run the old R1 on 8.5 (Style 68, and DS2s)

I run Hoosier 245 R7's on 8.5" wheels all the time, lots of guys near me run the R1's on 8.5" wheels too.
Yeah, optimally you'd run a larger wheel but its not an issue to use a 8.5" wheel.
