I have a totally stock 94 e30 wagon (195/65/15) and am going to be purchasing a 17" rim/tire combo (non sport 5-hole) from a w210. I believe the rims are 17x7.5 et37 and I know the tires mounted on them are 235/45/17. Will I have any rubbing issues with the 235's if I keep the stock ride height? Also, will I need to get different lugs to mount them properly or will I be safe with the originals? Input is greatly appreciated & thanks, in advance.

 

Will be close, I would guess that with a fully refreshed $uspension, they would not rub, but you also might need to roll fenders a tad.

 

Thanks for your answer. Am i right in assuming I will not need to change the stock lugs for ones of differing length? I am planning a suspension refresh/upgrade once the included tires need replacement.

 

I did not answer that because I am not sure.

There are many different lengths for the common wheels that fit these cars. I've collected a bagful of assorted length sets...after a few disappointing attempts to mount assorted wheels and realizing I needed different lug lengths.

Someone here might know, and the lugs that came off would be a good starting place to look.
