Hey Gang,
I searched through all the wheel threads and I "think" I know the answer to this but I want to be sure.

I have a nice set of 17" x 8" TSW Hockenheim wheels that are in an E30 M3 fitment (ET20 I believe).

I see that some people are running ET20s on their cars but they have to roll the fenders which I don't really want to get into. Most of them also seem to be running wider tires than I would want / need to run.

My car now runs 205/55-16s on factory Sport wheels.

I'd love to put on the Hockenheims with a set of 225/45-17 Conti Exrtreme Contact DWS (this is a commuter car) because I already own both things (wheels from an E30 M3, tires from one of my Audi's I just sold).

Since I already own the wheels and the tires it would be great if I can utilize this combo on the Ti,,, but I am betting that this will not fit without rubbing.

Susupension is simple Eibach sport springs over Bilstein sports.

Thoughts?
