Ummmm the first number is how iwde the tires are. 235 tires are wider than 225. Rooz is correct about the sidewall.

so that proves my point, a smaller side wall would make the tire wider.

My wheels are at a collision center - it would cost $1008 to have them fixed. F that. I spent $1500 on them new. I am not paying that much for shitty wheels. So, I think I am stuck with my 15"ers...

I run 225/40 in the front and 245/35 in the rear Bridestone S-O3's
Lowered about 2.5 inches on H&R coil-overs, drives great
Slight rub in the rear with 4 peeps before mod

I'm not pushing staggered sizes but the factory used them on the later M's and they seem to handle pretty good
e36 cars have understeer with or without stagger unless you tune it out with suspension mods

If you have the correct offset wheels you should be able to lower your ride up to 1.5 inches with 225's with no rub

and just for the record balance, a smaller sidewall does not make the tire wider

Big swaybars are cool
