Im sorry i dont think ill be able to help you directly
but ask someone on the forums of

www.dtmpower.net

they know more about bmw's than the rest of us will ever :)

Its possible to put stylin' 18's on...but that's pushin it. My buddy has 18's on his, and well there's not much tire. However as far as 17's go. Go to tire rack, and you'll have to get spacers, which sets your track wider, (a good thing, Porsche has been doin it for 30 years). You can put 17's with 225/40ZR17. Tirerack is where I got my 16's and their great. Some good tires are the Yokohama AV520's, awesome grip...but wear quickly. I have the Kumho Exta Supra 712's their great.Good luck.

I have a 325is 87 with 17"wheels 215 40's khumo's 712 nice tire it works well in the wet or dry. I bought my setup from the tire rack and it came with 10mm spacers. i would like a wider tire in the rear the fronts look okay but i think one more size up would still work. I also have installed bilstien sports shocks and lowering springs the ride isn't bad at all, firm but not really bone jarring
