I have had my (03)330d Sports Touring now for a couple of months.  I don't like the 18" wheels. Too much tramelining and a harsh ride.  I am thinking of going to the 17" wheels.  Anyone know which would be better, the 17" - 225/45 front with  245/40 rear or the 17"- 225/45 all round. If anyone has had experience of the combinations I would be interested in their comments.

Thanks

from my experience, best setup if it will fit on your car is 235/45/17 for front and 255/35/17 rear
the same size wheels all around is ok for driving, but if you a little more agressive you'll want the fatter rear for more bite and better cornering Evil
