      Few wheels can be pulled off in 17s on non-Ms. 16" is more of a sure shot.

          It's up to you. Some people think 17s are too big, but I like mine...

              17's are fine on an E30...

                  i have 17s right now and im having problems finding good tires in anything larger than 215/40....im on a lead with 245/35's, since i did some calculations and it shows to have the exact same sidewall height except with 1~1.75 inch wider tread rub issues probably....well see...

                          The only real problem with 17's on an E30 is that they totally dwarf the brakes, especially in the rear.

                                                      Pics from the front, to show the spokes on an angle (not straight on).

                                                      I'm debating 17x8.5 with 245's.
