    1998 Z3 2.8 Tires

    What is the largest tire I can fit on the standard 2.8 16 inch rim. I'm not into "spirited" driving, just want more rubber on the road and more comfortable ride - live in the Northeast, Thanks !!

    On the 16" you have the widest we recommend. If you decide to go to bigger wheels you can go to a wider rear tire. A 245/40R17 or 255/40R17 fits the rear fine.
    If I can help let me know.


    If ordering through the web site click through one of the banners and list "Jim" as a previous contact. The Tire Rack will direct a portion of the proceeds back to the the Bimmerforums.com site.
