      245's were on the rear of my M3 (8.5" wheel)... which is the OEM fitment. you could go wider... but why?

          with around 300 whp, you'll be able to spin whatever street tire you want off the line. something above 245 will look like a soggy donut on an 8.5 wheel. run quality rubber for the summer (bridgestone Re01r) if you want more grip. 245's will be plenty for a street car.
