    97 m3 tire problem

    I’m having problems finding tires on my 97 m3 I have to run 225/45-17 in the front and 245/40-17 on the rear every shop I call has the 225 and doesn’t have the 245 couldn’t I just mount 225/45s all around?

    Just order from tirerack and have them shipped to a shop near you. It's super easy.

    If you're on the stock staggered wheels the correct sizes are indeed 225/45-17 front and 245/40-17 rear (tirerack will do this for you once you enter your make/model).

    The shops should 100% be able to order the tires you want if they don't have them in stock.

    We do have a n7umber of options in the two sizes. You can run the 225/45R17 all the way around if you want to. 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.
