    Default I agree with you...245/16 tire is too wide for a 7.5" wheel

    Biggest tire you can comfortably get is the 225/55/r16. Micah had some 245 fat daddys and didn't have good results.

    I have the RD sways and the tires will rub the front bar when at full lock. I just try not to do this.

    It's a nice rim if you can find a good set. Forged. Easy to clean. The 16" rim gives a nice ride. I have 2 sets I like 'em so much!

    Cheers!

    Here's a link to the e31 style 9 wheel diagram & part number: http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...45&hg=36&fg=15

    Since the wheel is 16" x 7.5" (w/15mm offset) a 245 tire is too wide for a 7.5" wheel.
