bekker 7 Report post Posted August 26, 2016 Hi folks I'm after some thoughts on the look of these tyres on my E23. The size is 225/50/16 which by my calculations keeps the gearing near identicle to stock. I can't help but feel that the tyre looks too small. Or am I being nuts? The ride height is stock. What do you think? Could go down to 15's but I like these wheels. Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E30-323ti 66 Report post Posted August 26, 2016 Looks good IMHO. Could do with a little more 'low' though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's why I was wondering if they looked ok. Don't want to spend the money if its going to look weird. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
