    the latter size is a closer match to original diameter.

    225/40-17 is a little closer, but slightly oversized rather than under.
    past:
    1989 325is (learner shitbox)
    1986 325e (turbo dorito)
    1991 318ic (5-lug ITB)
    1985 323i baur
    current:
    1995 M3 (suspension, 17x9/255-40, borla)

        That size is actually the best match to the factory diameter. It's just impossible to find good tires in it.
