If you ran these wheels you would want to remove your 15mm spacers.

225/45-18 Sottozero 3 winter tyres on 18x8 ET45 wheels works on an M240i without rubbing (BMW allows some clearance on the 225/40-18 for low profile cable style chains). The speedometer may be more accurate, on my car with 245/35-18 rear tyres it is 3% high reading, with 225/45-18 tyres it is 1% low.
