Hi

I've just had my tyres changed on my E36, and it appears that thge wheels had been swapped for non-standard size alloys. I understand that the E36 came with 15 or 16 inch wheels.

My motor has 17 inch Motorsport (M3) alloys, with 225/45ZR/17 tyres on.

Is this likely to cause any issues with safety etc?

I actually heard that if you try to run 17's on an E36 this will happen...

Also, this is a little irrelevant but it just came to me- "Tyres" are just like tires, except they're made to use on the wrong side of the road.
