For non M e36 6 pots, I'm quite confident OEM is 225 rears 205 fronts.

With larger diameter wheels / lowered difference would only really be the profile so 45 instead of 55 for example. How wide it is would depend on the wheel you have.

To give you an idea. For the 17" e39 style 32s I have fronts are et 20 and rears are et26, the 8 inch fronts are supposed to be 235 , and 9 inch rears are supposed to be 255. Because of their et, if you put those size tyres the arches would actually be sitting on the tyres! To put them on an e36 you need 205 on the 8 inch fronts, and 215 on the 9 inch rears which would mean no rubbing and also that stretched tyre look.

The OEM style 25s that were on the car were 16" x 7 inches wide all round and they had 225 on back and 205 on front. et46.

Hope this is of some use to somebody..!
