23" rims fit ?

[lakai]

Do you guys think 23" rims 305/40/23 will fit without having to roll the fenders ?? I can go with a 35 series tire if needed, Thanks in advnace

Are you planning to have tires on them, too ?

Depends on a few things. The overall height of the tire should be kept the same and the width or crossection should be kept close. If not you may get rubbing on the inside of the fender arches. Play around with this calculator and try to find the best fit that will closely match the factory spec'd wheels. With 23" wheels the weight will be considerably more and may effect the front suspension components wearing out quicker. I have ran large tires on many vehicles and have had to prematurely replace tie rod ends, steering rack, steering pumps, and other components due to more stress on these parts. Also, the front suspension on the E70 was redesigned from previous models and if you look in the wheel arch you will see that there is not much room to fit larger tires. You may also want to have a spare kidney on standby 'cause you may need it when you constantly get jolted going over bumps!!

lakai: 23" will fit, but personally I think 22" is the sweet spot. Here's a picture of 23" wheels, hopefully this helps you decide:

Denalio: Thanks for the link, very useful.
