Are 17" wheels too much for the E30?

Me too on the "pimply hot street ride" thing.

I just think E30's are meant to be just exactly that.

My 17" w/ 215/40/17...

17x8 ftw, and not enough tire on my rims, but they are light. 15-17 lb range and w/ 235/40r17's will be awesome. I started w/ 215/40 to make sure i could clear everything.

my car is a lot more tail happy with the 17s on. its fun, but it isnt efficient for driving fast. that, and they sap the accel out of it.

17x7.5 typically require a 25mm offset w/ that tire size.
