I want to stay with 16" rims.
Is it possible to run 235s? What offset will allow the widest tire width?

I'll be running filled-and-drilled 16x8 et23 style 5s (from an e38) with 5mm spacers on my 318is, lowered on IE3 springs. I've got 205/50/16 Falken Ziex tires to mount, but really want to go wider to avoid the stretched look, and gain a larger contact patch. Ideally I would go 215/45/16. I don't want to roll my fenders, though! Any thoughts on whether or not this it's possible to run 215/45/16 without rolling fenders? a 40 series tire might work, but i'd like to keep the ride height as high as possible - I already scrape too much!
Thoughts? Thanks!

Trying to get widest autox tires on my E36M3 front/318ti rear 5 lug swap, ground control coilovers as well.
I'm currently running the BBS Style 5 17x8 et20 with a 215/40-17, quarters mildly flared out and front lips rolled.
Question is, I am being given a set of 17x8 et47 track wheels, can I run 245/40-17 BFG R1 or should I just go for the 235/40-17?
Thanks

hey jay,
I have a late model. Thanks to you my setup fits perfectly. 15x8et20 on 225/50's. Looks super aggressive. The front fits amazing. The rear appears to be sunken from the fender lip. although because its a late model it has that bump in the inner fender. So its only clearing that by mm. My question is, can I bang that bump out a little bit without fucking up my fender on the exterior? I want to run a 10mm spacer out back.
thanks man
