Based on everyone's comments they will fit so that shouldn't be an issue, I was thinking about selling the 225/45's and getting 205/50/17's instead (recomended by bmw)so my question is how do the 225/45/17's handle, both steering response and handling?
Both sizes are fine on that size wheel and both will handle fine for winter purposes.
