I've been thinking of getting a new set of tires for the 1995 318ti
What can I fit without modding ? Right now the car is fitted with 205/55/15
Would love to go to 17 for Summer tires !
Thanks ! |  |  | | 04-14-2011, 03:05 AM | #2 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2009 Location: MD/PA/DC Posts: 1,629 |

If you go with a 17x8 et38-48, you should be able to run a 235/40/17 tire with no issues. If you want to run a higher sidewall, go with a 225/45/17.

+1 to what Jess said. I run Style 22's (17") with a 235/45 in the rear and 235/40 in the front with no issues whatsoever on a stock suspension. I'll let you know how that setup works with a lowered suspension after this weekend.  | | | | | 04-14-2011, 12:21 PM | #6 | | Junior Member Join Date: Apr 2011 Location: Montreal Posts: 16 |

I just sold a set of OEM Style 67 (that same style) wheels with Michelin Pilots on them a few weeks ago for $400. You can find them all day on bimmerforums.com for about that same price ($400). | | | | | 04-14-2011, 04:06 PM | #8 | | Junior Member Join Date: Apr 2011 Location: Montreal Posts: 16 |
