Details
The 1995 US M3 coupe came on Style 22 wheels, 17x7.5 ET41 on all four corners. The tire size is unclear: an enthusiast site and a wheel retailer give 235/40R17, but a wheel library gives 225/45R17. The library also files Style 22 under 1992-1995 cars, but the US M3 started in 1995, so we keep this row to 1995. Tier lowered to 1 because of the tire conflict.
