Default Style 29 wheels for my Ti

Hello every one, I just got me a set of 16x7 style 29 wheels out of a 5 series sport wagon, I wonder what is the widest tire I can order for them, I am even considering narrower for the front, the car is going to be dropped 1 or 2 inches in the near future, Are 245/50 to extreme or will have rubbing issues?????

Thanks in advance for your coments

I don't think you'll be able to squeeze a 245 on a 7" wheel. 225 on a 7" wheel is already slightly squeezed and you may get away with a 235 on a 7" wheel.

225/50 is stock. 235/45 should work if you manage to squeeze it on a 7" wheel.

It won't work guys, the 5 series wheels have the wrong offset. Et25, you'd have to run 205/45, or 205/50 if you can roll your fenders
