First off, beautiful e30.
I was wondering why you use undersized tires on your track wheels? Is there a handling advantage?
Those track wheels came with the car when I purchased it some 6 months ago. Also the BFG G-Force KDs are wide, even for a 205 width tire. They are probably closer to a 215. The lower aspect ratio is mainly for fit and tire / strut clearance. With this tire / wheel combo I got about a 1/4" space between the sidewall and strut tube.
Also, the 50 aspect ratio is the only 205 sized 15" tire that BFG has in that series.
But of course the lower aspect ratio does improve handling. A lower aspect ratio reduces the height of the sidewall, thus making it stiffer and more responsive while making the ride a bit harder.

Good deal.
My car actually came with that size michelin pilot alpin snows and I was kinda pissed when I realized they were undersized because they were such nice tires. I feel a little better about it now, knowing that one of the better drivers on the board has that size too. :)'91 318is
