    Hi, just looked into your tyre size and it's not even listed by my suppliers. Are you sure that tyre size is correct??

    Let me know what car it's for and I will advise a more available tyre size.

    Thank you.

    I didn't think e36 s ran that big a tyre, the 225/50/16s I have fill the arch pretty well with a 9j small stretch and weak offset on standard mtech suspension. Then again....

    I think the m3s came with 245s as standard
    I've got 255 40's not 45's, they are pretty tight they catch on the 9j alpina rears but they are ok on the 8.5j m3 rims. I managed to run 245s on 9j rims
