Opinions: Tire sizes for Eurobaskets [15x7 ET24]

[Hick]

Currently i have super undersized and bald tires on my 15" euro baskets [195/50 F1 GSD3's] Im looking around for another set of tires, as i do not like the Kopis, which will be put up for sale shortly.

Anyway, im curious if anyone has/is running around with 225/50's and to what they look like. I can roll the fenders, but would rather leave them be [rust!] Reason i ask, i would like to know if it rubs the strut, or just looks bulbous [pics would help]

Otherwise i think its going to be 205/55's, which would be the correct size, but wheres the fun in that!?! As always, brand/model tire suggestions are always a plus.

Thanks, dumb question... i know

I'm rollin' on ur-oh weaves with Falken Ziex 512s size 225/50s. Decent tire for all around driving.....wouldn't dare run them on a track day. Below is a profile shot. Just for the record, its suspended with IE Stg3 springs and Bilstein Sport shocks.

Edit: These tires only rub when the steering is maxed in either direction. My fenders are not rolled either.

Thanks Jon!

No fender rolling or rubbing on strut[wouldnt think so]?

Clears the strut...~1/4" of space.

ET24-25 is the perfect offset for 15x7. Makes sense because why wouldn't BMW design the wheel that way, haha.

225/50-15 would look tasty, not mexican like your current tires, hahahaha.

225-50-15 BFG-force Sports: no rubbing, car on IEstg3/konis, great tire, high treadwear rating:340, very good dry/wet grip. Used them at a couple of autox and one DE. Cheap cheap!! 78$/tire

There are other 15X7 wheels out there for E30's. The offset is incase anyone out there has something close and would like to add their wheel/tire to the mix.
