In Reply to: Tire Clearance w/ 235/45/17 Advice Please posted by Scott on February 04, 2002 at 10:48:25:

larger wheel/tire combo causing your front end to really announce that it is bad. You need to look into doing at least the upper control arms, but I would look into doing uppers and lowers and make sure you use urethane bushings.
I see/hear this all the time from people that put larger wheel/tires on. I myself went through this with my last 5.
On the sizing issue, those wheels I believe are 17x8 with an et20, which should not give you any problem with that tire, but every wheel/tire is different.
Check with Shawn D. and his database for exact fitament answers. The E39 wheel option is becoming a very popluar one and you should be able to get your answers relatively easy.
