330 i will take 17 inch rims, not 16 (will not fit over calipers). steel wheels with correct offset avaliable at bavauto for about $80. 325 will take 16.

for 17 inch 205/50 size will fit on all corners (size difference less than 1%, and will not trigger dsc or abs). i bought semperit sport grip($88) which is studdable, but check local laws some will not let u use steel studs.
