Depends how wide the alpina's are

i want a wide and low profile look so what size wheel and tyre do you think i need. my car is already lowered and i have 15" bbs at the monent.

Are you aware that the Alpina reps will weigh at least double the BBS, and will bend/break much more easily?

Anyway - if the reps are 7" wide, 205/45/17 or 215/40/17 are both good.

215/40/17

i have 7.5 x 17 Alpina Reps, and ran 205/40R17, but have recently gone to 215/40R17.
The 215/40R17 give a better ride. My car is lowered with Eibach springs and Koni Shocks, i had to shave my rear arches to stop them rubbing though.
