so going on the wiki table i would need 225/45, but i read somewhere that the width might need to be slightly smaller to get a bit of stretch to avoid the tyre catching the arch , will the 225 give it a bit of stretch or is it not needed anyway?

I would go 225/45, the wheels are pretty much the same as Alpina spec, thats on the rears not sure how you would fair with the fronts, it may be close to the strut.
