OK so I got my car back... 245/45-17 on Style 157 and at the same time changed to M3 control arms as my stock ones were shot after 12xxxx miles. so much better! tires are BFG g-force comp 2 a/s at recommendation of mechanic, cheaper than DWS in same size. despite the 'measuring rim width' being 8.5" and my rims being 8" they look really squeezed (I am the anti-stretch!) but the ride in the city is so much better and I don't notice any loss in crispness. don't know how much of that is due to the control arm upgrade though. anyway, pics later of another 'mini meat' setup, for crap that I threw together as an emergency repair it ain't bad.
