            E21s run a lower offset than E30s.

                  13mm is perfect offset on an e30.

                  These are 15x7 et12 and just barely rolled rears on a 205 55 15



                  ...also e21 fitment.

                      I'd bet on caliper clearance. E21 wheels have very little room.

                        I can't speak for the knockoffs, but I have the real deal 15x7 et 12 Alpinas and they fit damn well I think. Caliper clearance in the front is an issue, so I run mine with a thin spacer.
