gjm 3208 Report post Posted March 24, 2015 Theoretically, they fit. Minimum recommended width 17" rim for a 215/45 is 7", with a maximum of 8.5" (unless getting serious with some stretching). Personally, I feel an 8" rim is near enough ideal, but does anyone have any experience they can share? I've run into a bit of an issue, y'see... I'll share the details another time, perhaps.

E30-323ti 66 Report post Posted March 24, 2015 On our old Altezza a 215/45 was the factory size on the OE 17x7" rims. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
duvey 245 Report post Posted March 24, 2015 I have 215/45/17s on an 8" rim on my e36, and they are very slightly stretched. I would prefer to run 225s. I would imagine that 215s would sit nearly square on a 7 inch rim. Maybe this helps: http://www.rimsntires.com/specspro.jsp 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
