16x7.5 fronts 16x8.5 rears what tyre size?

[clarkson]

Just got my m3 :)

I have put hartge staggered 16s on it and I want the most correct OEM style tyre size.

Hope someone can help.

225/45 is as close as you will come to the factory 15's overall diameter.

Yes I think they will be the size I will get, for both front and rear.

This is how the car sits with the current tyres on the Hartge rims



The tyres are 225/50/16 and they rub on the inner guards when trying to turn.

Yeah those are beefy. It's amazing what 5% can do, yeah?

The car looks great.

Yes 16-45-225 would fit nice. Here is a pic out of my Hartge catalog what they recommended back in the day.

You don't know where I could get the centre caps?

Jack bought new center caps from Hartge.
Here is a link to my Hartge builds and Jacks invoice for center caps.
