Hey...

What tire size should I run on 17" rims? I bought a set of 17" 540I wheels from a 1999 e39. Has anyone put these on an e28?

Thanks for the help....Mike


WAYYYY TOOOOO WIDEEEEEE, will rub the hell out of yoiur rear fender lip. Even if you run 185-20-17, the wheel will not fit. A e28 can really only run a max. of 7.5 withoiut ANY chance of body rub using the proper offset. I just got my 17" Motorsport replics from Discount Tire direct today. Mounted 225-45-17 and there is NO problems. offset is 17X7.5 et20.
good luck
Jake
