Absolutely no problem running on Toyo 215's - but 40 series fitted to BK
7.5" x 17 Alpina reps. Car lowered say 40mm front/ back.
Enjoy!

I'm running the same wheels as pm9575 but with 215/45/17 series Toyo's on a 60mm drop and they rub very slighty on full lock (no rubbing on the rear), I'll be fitting M3 front bushes to help as recommended by ant.. if that dosen't work then fresh rubber 215/40/17

Is 215's not a little wide for what is a relatively narrow car? I thought 205's would be a more ideal width?

spoke to a tyre dude on monday, he suggested 225 on mine to give me some safety against kerbing.
i told him " i dont do kerbs darling"
but with the ofset i reckon it could be done

so i've been told 225 tyres on the front is crap, so i would stick to no more than 7.5 wide and 215 tyre as from experience this is as far as you can go before you have to start modding. An 8 inch rim with very similar offset will rub on the shock even when the car is not jacked up, so 7.5 is tight.
