I know running 245 on a 7.5 inches wide wheel is not recommended and some bad thing may overide the benefits...this is why I am looking for real test data or comparaison. I want to get the max out of my F-Street setup. Dont know why BMW put 7.5 wheels on those car...would have been so much simple if they had put 8 inches wheels instead! ?

Oh I see, not sure what the weight difference would be from 225 to 235... can't think it would make much of a difference...
maybe it's the 10mm extra of diameter
