Oh yeah, a bit of poke on the euro look is A+. I have a half Czech wife that LOVES this car and refuses to drive one of the other 2 if she can ;) Too much poke would be the death knell for the A's, hehe. When I get a 2nd e30 project I can put some time into I'll probably run a bit more poke.
Currently the tires are 205/40/16 I believe? I'd prefer 205/45 or even 50/16 to give me a bit more rubber since I'm relagated to going no lower.

You order 16mm the second time around. By all appearences those look like 16x9 type a's....is this correct? I would also assume they have an et15...is that correct as well. I had rolled fender on my e30, at one point I had 16x9 type a's et15 with a 10mm spacer in the back leaving me at et5. They barley poked and sat nicely with 195/45/16's on them.
You have pulled fenders so if it were me I would take the larger of the spacers I had and place them in the rear. If It were me I would have gone et0 out back and et5 up front. Again that is me and my tastes might be different than yours. I like a little poke on my euros.

Yeah, I was thinking that, but honest to God it's the pulled fenders that give that illusion AND the fact that my rubber is slightly under sized. This will be rectified once these wear out. I bought 'em with new rubber already on them for a great deal. So I figure I'll run 'em for a bit more. What would you go with?
The fronts will be nicely snug near the front fenders with the 16mm spacers...
*EDIT*
Oh yeah, thanks man. I love the A's. Need a good refinishing. That's why I ordered all 4 spacers in 16mm in 4x100 ;) I can run the Bottle caps I've been working on. Polishing out the lips and going black or gun metal centers.

You're right. $50.00 isn't cheap.
But it's WELL worth it. Here's my car pre-spacers in the rear. I screwed up and forgot to order 15 MM spacers for the fronts (different hub/centre bore).
