If I ran a 225-50-17 on me e30 would I rub like crazy or would I be fine?

Not even close. If you want a 225 you would need to have a 40 sidewall.Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image. -
Yeah you can run that size, you will just have to do something like this.

Maybe a stock height car? Or in 14" size like me. :DComment

Sorry Austin, the more opinions the better. I decided to go with some 16" wheels instead and I just went to the tire pile at work and i found my tires, and I'm having them put on tomorrow morning.Comment

I once ran 215/45/17 on my m3 and that was too big. Gotta go 40 series."I'd probably take the E30 M3 in this case just because I love that little car, and how tanky that inline 6 is." - thecj

You should also consider the fact that your speedometer/odo will be quite a bit further off with such a high O.D. tire. It's usually ideal to stick with a somewhat similar O.D. sized tire.-Erik

Depends on your ride height... DEN_K321 has 17x10 Borbet type A's and runs 225/40r17 and rubbed his sidewall clean, his car is pretty slammed though...
