    Depends on how much stretch you want really.
    But a 195/50/15 will be stretched and can be had for dirt cheap.

        40 is too small, get some rubber on those wheels.

              you will be far too low with that size. if this is for a VW Lupo, then sure, but to run that size tire on an E30 you are either going to have horrendous wheel gap, or the oil pan will be on the ground and you'll have a decent amount of wheel gap still.

              What offset are the wheels your looking at? they look like decent knock off's btw.

              here are 15x7 euro weaves with 195.50.15 toyo R888's

                    It's a 15''. You're going to have sidewall lol.
                    And if I remember the offset on those wheels correctly, you need a good spacer for em to not look weird.

                          205/50/15 I guarantee that you aren't going to be slammed so stretch will look retarded.
