i absolutely understand brother. I'm telling all of you i'm staying within 15"-16" the most. The car came with 16" style 45's that i don't like. I don't like newer model wheels on an older model chassis.
i recently picked up style 32's which are 15x7 +47 with 205-60's on them. Do i wish they were 8" wide? Hell yeah i do. On my Miata i have 14x7 with a 195-60. Yes they look big and maybe even alil ballooney but they look just right to me. I want the same affect, look, feel and ratio on my 318ti but on a 15x7, 15x8, 16x7, and 16x8 wheel.
That's why i said maybe i'll just go up one more size and do a 215-60 as oppose to a 225-60 which looks like it's meant more for a 5 series.
