Widest tire to fit on 188s for 09 335 x-drive?

Looking to stay square on the 17x8's is one option. The 17" look a bit small and I know the speedo will be off a bit but just keeping options open.

Thanks.

245/40R17 would be the widest size that is recommended size for 17X8.

Thanks Gary...so tires will fit on rims.

Haven't seen anything that leads me to believe the 245 is too wide for the front of an E92 x-drive with stock suspension either.

Correct??

Some on the forum have gotten away with that size, but it is wider than we can guarantee to fit up front.
