GTV max tire size
This could be posted under tires I guess, but as it probably goes under the category "don't try this at home", I'll put it here instead.
I think I maxed out the tires on the GTV with original wide body. The clearance is minimal as can be seen on the following pics.
Tire size is 225/50R16 all around.
ET is 25 in front and 16 rear.
Rear it would be possible to use wider tires at the cost of ET. Hence 245/45 should fit with ET26

Micke,
I ran 225/50R16s with 35p offset 8" wide wheels on mine for a couple of days and nearly blew the front guards off it when I hit a bump. Admittedly this was on a road car which used road springs and shocks. Solid links or something near as stiff may have solved the problem or even roads without bumps (don't exist here !!)
I ended up using 215/45R16s instead.
Rears were never a problem.

Micke, I know it's an old post, but how did you like those Ventusi? How was the tire wear? Do you guys have the Falken Azenis RT-615?
I have a Milano with 16X7.5 ET37 wheels. Do you suppose I could fit 225-45-16 tires on there? The Ventus is available in that size, but the Falkens are not -- 215-45-16 only.

BMW's are the ultimate driving machine!
I'm kidding -- please don't ban me.
