How W I D E...

I'm planning on puting 18's on my 325ic, the best tire set up to keep the speedo close to the same is 215/35/18 But has any one run 225's on a e30 and if so does it rub? I rather run 225/35/18 not sure if there is such a size. Or should I just go with what works?

Also what is the stock size for e30 convert. I think it's 185/65/14

Right now I have 3-peice BBS on there and they are 205/55/15 nice wheels but I need B I G G E R.

ive heard of 205/35/18 but even that is ridiculous - which will probably rub anyhow.

im running 205/50/16 and they are close, 225/50, i predict will rub, 225/45/16 wont


anything larger than 17 looks stupid anyhow

don't go more than +2
meaning stock 15's max = 17

i have 235 front 255 rear on my 91 535i
i had to roll my rear's though... =] $30 a pop

I believe stock on all 325's are 195/65/14 but you can go with 205/60/14.

Yeah im consufed as to why you want big rims on a sports car. The only cars I think should have big "bling bling" rims are benz and caddys, just my opinion though

i have 215/60r14's on my 1988 325. i think they rub a little bit on hard corners, but they only hit the struts, and its not noticable at all.
