Hi all, I’m needing to change the tires in my z3 project. The wheels I believe are style 64 so 7x16. The side wall rounding is awful and was wondering what tire width others were running for a more square sidewall setup on a 7inch wide wheel. Tia!

Not sure what "side-wall rounding" means, but as you are running on 7" wheels, I imagine it's important!

Please try giving us some useful information - such as tyre dimensions, pressures, type of tyre, and rim diameter. A photograph may be useful. Also try to describe your problem, rather than use such an ambiguous term as 'side wall rounding' which while it may be obvious to you, we speak English here . . .

The only proper solution to your issue is bigger wheels.
Your 7 x16 style 64 will be running the standard z3 16" tyre so a 225/50/16
There isn't really anything that you can change it for that will help.
Pick up a decent set of staggered 17
7.5 x17 fr and 8.5x17 r
Run 225/45/17 front and 245/40/17 rear .
