      any te37-V
      i have a feeling for offset purposes and getting nice semislick rubber on them the M style would have to be the case as to not cause massive wheel scrub on the track

          I tried to run a set of Rota Grid-V in 15x8 +0 on my e30 (in sig...) and they have had big issues with brake clearance, had to run an 8mm spacer along with grinding down the caliper...

          Are you buying the wheels in Australia or looking to import? I can give you some wheel suggestions if you are willing to import from the US...

              i ran 16x8's et20 and spaced them. works mint. cos you can get away with a 15mm spacer with no issues. im running 225 in the back too.

                I had a look at the Rays catalogue, for track wheels you would want to run a 15x7.5 or an 8... options would be:

                15x7.5 +25 in S-Rim
                15x8 +25 in S-Rim
                15x8 +0 in M-Rim

                +0 will work but if it has any brake clearance issues, any spacer will put you in negative effective offset...

                If anything I would go 15x8 +25 and then use a 10mm spacer to push it out... Im running a set of 15x8 +10 wheels with 225/45R15 tires on my track car atm and its working well...
