Will there be fitment issues with 225X45?

[BMWE34M5]

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

So is everyone for the 17" wheel going for the 215/40/17 tire size? Seems selection is pretty slim for this size. I don't want the stretched out look either. Was hoping to try out the new Michelin Super Sports, since they are about the same price as the Star Specs...

215/40/17 will not be stretched on a 7.5 wheel. It fits nicely.

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

I will go 215/40 front, 235/40 rear like m3 95.

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

225/45/17 is way too tall for the E30. It will rub.

Ok, thanks guys. My car has the h&r sport & billie setup.

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.

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.

I found this nice car, probably from a member, with 235/40/17 tires on alpina kopis, imo they look awesome.

That's my car. Picture from 2006 I believe.

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.

Whenever these wheels get here everyone should post pics of their cars and suspension/ tire setup. When are they arriving????

Mel told us this past weekend, no update so far.

[BMWE34M5]

We should have customs clearance this week.
As soon as the shipment clears customs, we will ship the wheels.
I am just as anxious to receive the wheels.

[AlpinaB3]

Great news, Thx Mel.

[BMWE34M5]

Great news!
We should have final Customs clearance on Monday and start shipping the wheels on Tuesday.
Those that have not paid the balances, we need your payments by Monday.
We appreciate your patience.
