        In many cases wider is not better

            as others have said 225/45 is spot on for OEM rolling diameter. , 215/45 is smaller than OE

                    OEM Sizing is for a car that's nine feet off the ground :P

                    Sorry don't ask my opinion on tire sizes, I'll just piss you off. But since I'm posing I would run 195/45/16 on that wheel.

                    Fixed ;) But that's impossible on a 7" wheel.

                    What's the offset on these wheels?

                        You paved a parking lot?

                        Car looks better but will look much better with plastics. Nice work!

                            Wheels and shadow lining made a serious improvement in the looks department. Nice job, another great diving board E30!

                                A little bit more than 100, but close enough. That’s the plan.

                                Stretch with my ride height would just look ridiculous, and out of place.

                                Edit: Offset is et20.

                                                    Looks awesome. And 225/45/16 is the correct size tire, you don't need to go smaller unless you want to. I would personally repaint those wheels either bronze, gold or gunmetal, but other than that you car looks sweet. :D
