I have them on my 350i (check the profile pic). Tyres are 225/50/R16. They did rub on the front on full lock whilst cornering due to worn springs and bushes, now replaced and no problems. Back is fine, but very close (few mm) to the tie rods - I plan to change these to Steve Heaths rose jointed, as the provide more clearance. I also had to fabricate spigot rings so they remain central on the hub (very important so the studs aren't talking all of the loading and to prevent vibration at speed) and use 'wobble nuts' as the PCD of the bolt holes is slightly different.

I had the same wheels on mine, (profile pic) no problems and think they were 225/45/16. You have a greater choice of tyres with the 16" wheels.
