    215/40 is the right size for them.
    A 225/40 would be a little beefier but that size is no longer available in the US.
    Your options are pretty much 215/40 then it jumps to 235/40 which is too big for that wheel.

        I run 225/45 and it clears just fine. My speedo does run a bit slow, but that doesn't really bother me.

          225/45 is actually over 1/2" TALLER than a 235/40 so they are of no use to e30 owners.
