+1 on the 225/45

[MG325i]

im running 205/50's on 16x7.5 and the fronts rub only when turned all the way to the right or left on the inner fender liner. i had 45's up front, and didnt rub at all. so id go with everyone else said. 225/45's

16x7.5 with et25 will handle a 225/45/16 tire with no rubbing at all.

Here is proof.

Thanks for the input, i'll go with 225/45....I do wish there were more choices in 225/45 size though...

225/45 looks awesome, they fill out the fenders perfect.

16" BBS Rk's with 225/45-17 Yokohama Es-100's (wish they still made these tires)
I forget the ET on these, ill have to look. Its a set of rims from an E36 though


fits fine, does rub on big bumps only on the right rear, maybe i need to roll a bit more on that side. also with the 5 lug swap and E36 steering rack I have the fronts rub a tad on full lock, but that will be solved with some rack stops. I guess the e36 racks have more travel than the e30 ones. but its a quicker steering feel, i like it

next step, PAINT

I have 225/45s on my 16" style 5's. Fit perfectly. The others looked tiny.

same wheels and sizing, i'm running the KDWs and they are pretty amazing for the price.

I ran 225/45 on my 16" hartges. Ran toyo t1r for tires.

I'm pretty sure you could squeeze the 225's on if you want. I've seen guys run that on a 7'' wide rim.
