Two questions:
Can I put four 8.5" wide 17" tall M68 wheels on my 2003 330Ci? I'm wondering if it's too large for the front.

Would 225/45/17 fit on those? I know the stock size on 8.5 is 245 wide.

The stock 17 x 8.5 M68 has a 50 offset which might cause a rubbing problem

M68's will fit easily on your car. And yes 225/45/17 will be fine.

Yes they will fit no problem.

You can go as wide as 235mm for tires up front. Some people have even tried 245 tires up front w/ very minuscule rubbing.

"rubs the dust off of the strut" per the original poster.

I've been running this setup for 2 weeks and there is indeed no problem. Thanks to all.
