Is 205/40/17 Ok or too small?

[mach schnell]

I know it's slightly undersized compared to a 215/40/17. Is it about as undersized as 205/50/15, or worse?

They're not bad, thats the size I run. I think they're just right

205/40 fits ok on a 17x7. I have pics but not on an e30 so not sure how helpful it will be..

I always went with the 215's. But thats just my personal pref. I never like going too far from the orig diam specs.

I'm with you, I am the same. But the wheels I'm looking at have 205 40's on 'em...

If its a cost thing, just run em til you have money or til they are worn out.

Did you get them? Pics? Thats what came on mine, still running them. I would go for it. Do you have a lowered 30?
