wheel offset and recommendation (archive)
[ Follow Ups ] [ Wheel/Tire Message Board ] [ Msg. Board FAQ ]

Firstly, I just purchased the BMW factory Cross Spoked Composite Wheel II, Bolted wheels (PN 85-32-9-409-991) for my '96 328i (with sports package). I can't find the offset for this wheel to determine the correct tire size application. Do you know what the offset is for this wheel? I was planning to use 225/45R17. The
steering and turning capability must remain unchanged (status quo). I do not want the tire to rub the wheel well. What's your suggestion for the correct tire size?

Secondly, my driving habits are average - moderately aggressive driving. My driving consist of a 60/40 (city/highway)combination. My ideal tire (in order of preference) has the following qualities: reliability, low noise, good ride, good tread life, and performs under wet/dry conditions well. This will be a summer tire only. My choice was the Dunlap SP9000. Any other recommendations for a tire choice?

p.s. I want to make this purchase within the week.
