I have a 92 525iT. I am looking to put some aftermarket wheels and tires on. I have some questions about what to get.
1. What is the largest/widest tire you can put on an 17" wheel and it not rub anywhere?

2. Same question as above but with an 18" wheel?

3. What is the lug pattern and offset for my car?

4. Does anyone run a slightly narrower tire in the front than in the rear?

I really dont like the superlow profile tires that are on some cars (40 and 35 series). I would think that they would cause a harsh ride.

Thanks in advance,
Jason
