ugly 3.oi wheels

I have a set of the 17" fugly 3.0i wheels that came on my 05, can someone tell me how wide those wheels are? they've got 225's on them right now... They're kind of a snowflakey design, can't find em on the BMW wheels picker website.

Bonus if you can tell me how wide of a tire I can slap on them

Yeah but I'm looking for the maximum width I can squeeze onto the wheel... For Drag Radials, for science of course.

Remove one of the wheels and the size will be stamped or cast on the inside of one of the spokes. An 8" will hold a 225/45 or 225/40 (I have both sizes on different cars).

Papak - i've got 265's on my 135i rear wheels now (pretty sure they're 8")

As to why not just buy new ones... eh I could but I already have these, maybe some newer lightweight wheels would be the way to go if the price isn't outrageous
