Exclamation Widest possible tire?

My friend owns a '93 325i bmw. We were discussing the widest tire that he could put with out scraping the fender. He said that for the front, he could go like 225 'cause 235 would scrape when stearing. Who knows what the widest possible tire can the 7 have in the front? Thanks alot!

you can go up to 285s in front with the right offset and suspension

Here are 285s on the front of my car...

I have 285s in back, too, but I think that some people have gotten 305s and 315s to fit in back. 285 is probably as wide as you can go in front.
