      I found a set of 15x8 rm's, the seller said they are about et13, that's a bit much
      I'd say. For reference my 16x9's are et15, would these work ok with 225/50/15's?

          give me about a week and a half and I will let you know.

          My bolts are at the shop right now getting chromed, after that's done, it's getting mounted on the E30.

              yah I have RM's.

              Im in the process of cleaning them up, it should look pretty nice with polished lips and chromed bolts.
              The bolts should be done next Thursday. Then I will go get tires on the following Monday.

                They'll work with 205s, 225s will be a tight fight on the fenders. Then again your CR7s were too, these will not be that much different.

                  My cr7's on 215's are fine, no rubbing but if I were to go 225's I think I'd
                  rub, l don't really want to run 205's, I like the look of my old set up 225/50/15's.

                    ah in that case you are on your own. I'm running 205s in mine.
                    I'll see how the 205s are, roll my fenders if I need to, and then see if I squeeze in wider tires in the future.

                    I can't wait to get the RMs on, I've had it lying around for so long because I have been too lazy to clean it all up, I've finally got off my ass and sent the stuff to the shop :pimp:

                          Okay. You'll be rubbing almost for sure with the RMs, probably need to roll a little more aggressively and/or pull.

                            Should I find another set with a more suitable offset, what offsets are rm's
                            available in?

                              BBS RM only come in one kind - 15x6.5 (et33 i believe).
                              So if you want to roll in 15x8 RMs, offset is fixed - et13.

                              You could always run 15x7 RMs or go with 15/16" RS's.
