Hi Gary,

I currently have stock wheels on my 1997 E36 coupe with 205/60R15 Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Pole Position tires (from Tire Rack, of course).

I like the tire. It works well in summer, rain, and light snow, so it's good as a year round tire in Portland.

I need new tires, and I'd like to increase the width a bit. I was hoping a set of 215/60R15 RE960AS wouldn't be too much of an increase in radius.

Do you know if this will work? I have the suspension lowered a bit with a Sachs kit.

Thanks

Although it is not a guaranteed fit, I personally doubt that you would have any problems running that size.

Thanks, Gary. That's what I needed to hear. I've just placed my order through your sig.
