In Reply to: NEED HELP WITH WHEEL SIZE AND OFFSETS! posted by Bill T 87 53512 on March 24, 2002 at 22:20:52:

... the majority of wheel/tire combinations known to fit the E28 can be found in my E28 Wheel & Tire "Database" (in the "BMW E28 Files" folder)*, which includes contributions from many of those on this board, as well as inputs from other E28ers. If a combination you're considering isn't listed, you can put the data for it in the two lines labeled "TEST" at the bottom of the sheet.

What is your point for wanting the "biggest" wheel and tire? Performance, looks, what? Bigger doesn't necessarily mean better performance; differences in tire type, speed, rating, manufacturer, and tread pattern/compound probably make more of a difference than mere size change.
