    You're not gonna run spacers with the Ronals...and they should be hubcentric (Ronal usually has hubcentric rings that they send, or might already be installed).

    225's should fit - a lot of people have run them with later models with no problem.

                  Why no suggestions for a 215/50/15? I ran this size(Dunlop SP9000) on my m3 this summer and seemed to be great... just a bit smaller profile(1/3in. smaller side wall). I think 225 is a bit over rubbering a 27-2800lb car that only makes about 170hp... more rubber, less feel of the road. Porsche and Lotus have been going by this philosophy forever. 2cents.

                    I can only say that with Ronal LS with Dunlop SP 5000s, 205/55/15 is the max w/o spacers. They've got the Max Flange Shield to protect the rim, but it grazes the strut even with M3 c/a bushings.

                    All Ronal wheels are made hubcentric, so no rings to pfutz with!
