        It is usually stamped at the back of the wheel.
        It ends or begins with ET. Depending on the manufacturer. Two digit number.

            Yes I believe you'll need spacers.
            The first car I ever rode in was an e30

                I recommend 10mm. Minimum. It will be super close even with 10mm.
                If you want to go flush with fender, get 20mm. Which tire size are you planning to run?

                  15mm spacers would give you a good fit.

                      215. Show us the wheels. 10mm to 25mm works.
