    Wheel fitment Question

    I have a wheel question, I want to run 17x8.25 et25 wheels on my '90 325is. I will prob stretch the tires but is that too big of a wheel or is 16x8.25 better and i am running stock suspension but i will be on race/sport springs by the time i get the wheels. Will it rub as i turn and wut not?

    Either would work just fine. You might need a tiny spacer to clear the strut up front.

    you can fit 245s under the stock fenders if you give them a good roll. Say no to stretch!

          That is a lot of stretch, and it is unnecessary. Get a pair of 5mm spacers, roll the fenders, and run 235/40/17 on a 17x8.5 et25.
