    Tire size for an 87 535is

    What tire size should I run on my style 5's? I'm debating whether to get 215/45/17 tires or 225/45/17. I don't really want to mess with rolling my fenders. My car is on stock suspension. Is anybody running these tire sizes on their e28's without rolled fenders and if so do they rub on the fender? Is it even possible to run 17 inch wheels without rolling the fenders?

    I would stay with the 215/45R17. With the 225/45R17 you will probably have to roll the fenders. If I can help with the tires let me know

    What he said. Are you looking for all-season or summer tires?
