Member Post nr. 668 California, USA (San Jose) 1980 320is, 1991 318is	assuming the spare wheel well it identical to my US 320I, I would use stock dimensions of 185/70/13. The main reason for this is because my oem/stock wheels with 205 width will fit, but the cover board will not lay flat on top of it. [I don't know if 195 will work, but I doubt you can find that size anyway.]
