    With a nice roll front and rear they can work.
    I will only use that tire only on rear, i will check if i need to roll in the back when i install them.

    Between Tire Rack and Discount Tire Direct I see 19 tires available in this size.


    The 95 M3 has 235/40/17 all around though. ;)


    225/45/17 is way too tall for the E30. It will rub.
    Ye, i do know they are all around, thats why i specified about the rear. But i will make my final choice after i mount the tire and check how it looks. I hope 235/40 on the kopi looks good.

    If i have fenders rolled, will that eliminate rubbing with my setup?
    225/45 is just too tall.

    If you want something a little taller than a 215/40 you could go with a 205/45 tire.

    Should be OK for stock height car.
    Ideal size for lowered car is 215/40/17.

    We should have them this weekend and able to ship next week after customs clearance.
    The Christmas holidays overseas have delayed everything.
