This page seems to have the info you’re looking for. Just make sure you choose the specs for your current tire size. Hope it helps.

I think i need new tires… Seems like someone just used random ones. (Bought used car)

Unless I’m looking at the wrong car specs, the internet is telling me that your car came from the factory with 16″ rims. Could be that a previous owner blinged things up a bit.

This page gives recommended tire sizes for different size rims on your car. You’ll have to determine your precise rim specs, because we don’t know which aftermarket rims the previous owner installed. So, in this case, determine your current rim size, (should be stamped on the rim somewhere), and install the appropriate tire size. As for inflation pressure, I’d go with the recommended pressures for the E87 with 17″ wheels from the website in the previous post. (29 psi front, 33 psi rear)

Tire Size:………………Rim Size:

205/50R17(front)……..7Jx17 ET47
225/45R17(rear)………7.5Jx17 ET47
205/50R17………………7Jx17 ET47
225/45R17………………7.5Jx17 ET43
215/45R17………………8Jx17 ET40
