What tyres go on 17s alpina replica?

[joyrider]

Hey guys.
I just bought some 17 inch Alpina replicas (bk racing)
I don't know what size tyres to put on it.
i have a 325i cabrio on a K plate ( e30 )
Can anyone help?
Any recomendations on tyres would be nice too.
I drive the car everyday so not looking for a soft compound.

Cheers!!!!

I also had 215/40/17"'s on mine, tried 215/45/17"'s and these rubbed like a bitch on the rears The car was 30mm lower all round

You'll find that 205/40/17's aren't quite wide enough, so 215/40/17's will be perfect.

I to have 215/45/17 Toyo's on a 40mm drop and they rub at the back under heavy acceleration and the fronts rub on full lock so I'm back on 15"s. When I change them I'm going for 215/40/17.
