    What Size tires should I run?

    Ok picked up a set of Enkei ek98 16x7's Et23
    And I want to throw on some treads... but i don't know what size will work
    with my set up..
    I'm rollin a 90 325I with H&R cup springs and 15mm drop hats..
    I haven't rolled or pulled my fenders "yet" If needed having this done
    is not an issues...
    Not looking to stretch but willing..

    What size tires do i need..?

    My rims..

                    Be a little on the bulbous sized and not much of a decent selection in this size anymore. 215/45/16 would be my choice or 205-50-16

                            tirerack shoes 64 tires available in 225/50/16

                            I run 225/45/15 on the track car. but I imagine on the street 205 is more than adequate with better fuel economy

                              225-50 are too big, 225 45 are perfect.
