[QUOTE="WAFS328, post: 59810, member: 879"] Off course the 225/45 R17 felt more powerful because the overall diameter is smaller than your 225/55R16. 225/55 R16 - OD 653.9mm 225/45 R17 - OD 634.3mm By changing to bigger rim, it doesn't mean bigger. you must take consideration of the tyre size as well. Therefore if you want to change tyres, make sure the OD is 3% within your original size tyre. Here's another comparison, 205/55 R16 - OD 631.9 mm (STD tyre size for E90 320 & E46 318) 225/35 R18 - OD 614.70 mm 235/35 R18 - OD 621.7 mm 245/35 R18 - OD 628.7 mm Just make your choice... [/QUOTE]
