235/65/17 I don’t have no issue with sharp turn or full turn for the bmw e83 models and yes it has a 30mm lift kit 0n it + the tire hight instead of 10” clearance I have 13”-13 1/2 clearance

Do you think 245/65r17 will fit?

[@ACEBTRAVEL-AZ-ADVANTUR]

You would have to cut you inner splash shield and add spacers and + extending bolt and nut if you go with 245 and little rubbing on full u turn but you would gain extra 1”

@@ACEBTRAVEL-AZ-ADVANTUR Ok. The size diameter difference is only .5" bigger with length .3" wider.

@@sr20dett1000 235 compare to 245 way wider my brother have that issue ik about it because My brother did it to his but he was telling me he might get 235 later one since of the rub

@@ACEBTRAVEL-AZ-ADVANTUR I type it in a tire calculator and the difference is not that much.

[@ACEBTRAVEL-AZ-ADVANTUR]

@@sr20dett1000 I understand what you saying but clearance in the wheel base area not enough room because there a frame mount area that’s is close too the tires. Once you go 245 you need spacers and will still hit your spash guard the car wasn’t design to go bigger and wider tire unless you modify certain things if you don’t believe me try at your own risk and you will come across these issue I went 235 /65/17 for that reason
