check out my pics posted in the PICTURES ONLY thread. The spyder was on 225/45/17s , 17" 5Zigen hyperblacks. Dont go over 17's...the rubber gets mroe expensive, but the lower profile means less tire life and more prone to curb damge, IMO.

Acutally, to tell you the truth.. that seems kind of shady.. 4 wheels with "Performance" low pro tires makes you question the quality of the wheels/tires.. i would find out what brand the tires are and look for someone with these wheels.

i can guarantee your tires will be thinner than the burger patty they put in the BigMac nowadays... 225/45/17s....just right.

no...the tires may be good quality for their SIZE....but you should get a THICKER tire. The Z4 is a nice sports car within its class, but Im more of an M3 person....ya get me?

If your gunna go with 17's and your car isnt lowered your not gunna want Low pro tires, it just looks like crap. If your gunna get thin rubber make sure u get it lowered. I got 17's on 205 tires lowered 3 inches and i still got plenty of space between the wheel wells.
