    Will 8 1/2" wheels with 245/40 tires fit E36 M3 front?

    Thinking of running 8 1/2" wheels with 245/40/17 inch tires all around for track. Have Michelin Pilot SX MXX3's.

    For anyone else interested, 8 1/2" wheels with 41mm offset just barely touch the inside of the strut towers on the front with all stock suspension.
