Recently purchased my first BMW, 2001 325i, and it comes with those little 205 tires. What is the best size that would not rub at all and fill the wheel well up a bit more. I don't want to lower the car so I just wanted to put something like 215/45R17. Any help?

It can be 7.5 ot 8 at front, the back can fit a 8.5. I think the 47 mm offset should be fine.
