Better 245-255 width tire fitment. Same reason I went with 9.5 square to fit 275s. Would have gone 10" square but couldn't fit the rear.

These cars love square fitments. Super neutral and with fatter aspect ratios you get with 17-18" diameters grip is better.
How in the hell do you fit a 275 tire on this car; front or rear?! What tire model and suspension? A 275 tire on a 128i would basically mean pedal to the metal around the entire track! 😂
