Hello guys,
My name is Leon from Indonesia. I just bought a set of BBS Rx203 17x8 ET10 wheels for my 1990 BMW E30 sedan. And now I:m looking for some tyres for them. Now, I know that the offset is pretty aggressive for an E30, but since I'm not running a slammed suspension setting, I think it is doable. Currently I have H&R sport springs combined with OE Bilstein shockers all around.

Now, the question is, which tyres suit my setup the best 205/45 r17, 215/40 r17, or 214/45r17? I have rolled the guards to the maximum and I don't want to go the widebody route

Any opinion is much appreciated

Thanks guys
