        anyways I love 15x8+ sized wheels on an E30. the tires are cheap, and I think they fit the styling typically of an E30 nicely.
        cheers, i kinda figured they would be more than $100 just wondering if they were over $200 or more

          17x8.5 will fit with rolling and a little stretch depending on two things.

          1. How low you are
          2. The offset of the wheels.

          Don't even attempt the 17x10s. But if the 17x8.5 has an offset around 20, you should be ok clearance wise. But if you are not low enough or the offset isn't around 20, it will look stupid AND cause problems.

          Buddy of mine has 17x8 in the front and he cleared just fine with a good roll. He has 17x9s in the rear and had even less issues with them than the front.

          I LOVE 17s on e30s. I think they are the perfect size but it also depends om the wheel choice too.
