e30 ///M3 going from 15" to 16" rims

["Peter Sankiewicz (Volt Computer)" <a-petsan@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I want to migrate from 15" to 16" rims on my 1990 m3. The stock tires were
205/55R15 on a 7.5" rim. 

First: How wide are the stock 16" BBS rims that came on the e28 M5?

Second: Which tire should I go with? My tire size should be: 225/45R16, an
online tire store gave me 12 options:


01 Dunlop SP Sport 9000-Z-rated        $176 ($704/4)
02 Michelin Pilot Sport-Y              $233 ($932/4)
03 Pirelli PZero System Asimmetrico-Y  $175 ($700/4)
04 Continental ContiSport Contact-Z    $163 ($652/4)
05 Michelin Pilot SX GT-V              $178 ($712/4)
06 Pirelli P7000-Z                     $149 ($596/4)
07 Sumitomo HTR-Z                       $95 ($380/4)
08 Yokohama A520-Z                     $116 ($464/4)
09 Yokohama AVS-Z                      $140 ($560/4)
10 BFGoodrich Euro T/A Reinforced-H     $98 ($392/4)
11 Dunlop SP Sport W-10-V              $101 ($404/4)
12 Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D2-Z           $184 ($736/4)

Tire ratings:
H=130mph;  V=149mph;  Z=149mph and over;  Y=186mph 

Any and all opinions would be greatly appreciated, what I'm looking for is
both good and bad opinions. That's a lot of money for a set of tires and I'd
like them to last along with giving me excellent performance. My priority
list goes like this: durability/performance then price.

A last question would be: has someone plus sized the wheels on an e30 M3 to
245/45R16? If so, did you see any problems?

Thanks a lot in advance - Peter
