For degraded handling reasons. People aren't a major fan of 17in wheels on here.

Personally I wouldn't know if there are any rubbing issues.

Best two options are to:

Use the search function.

Or keep an eye on here for people that have 17inch Alpina Reps and Pm them.

I have 17 alpina reps on my e30 which is lowered by 40mm. They are a snug fit on the rear but no rubbing issues, Mine is also 2 door.
