I haven't grasped all the subtle nuances of wheel fitment yet. I have seen pix of beautifully lowered E30s with wheels that are very "lippy". They look great. My M3 had stock basketweaves on it when I bought it. It had been slightly lowered with a set of H&R springs. I got a set of Schnitzers and would like to run them when I finally finish the car. I forgot to roll my fenders before I had the car painted and I'm not going to risk dicking up the paint now. They are 8 by 16(labeled 8Jx16 H2) and are ET35. Actual width is 9 inches. I have a set of 15mm spacers to acheive ET20. I know that, technically this will work. My concern is nailing my tire to the fender lip if I happen to hit a bump while turning.
I really like these Schnitzers but I dont want to screw up my paint or bend my fender. I would rather be more conservative with my wheel choice and save myself the pain of screwing up a new paint job.
Any recommendations or comments would really be appreciated.
