Just kidding. I would go wider if I felt like spending the money I don't have.

17s are perfect for an E30, IMO.
I don't care for stupid low E30s, but that is because I DRIVE mine, and do not wanna baby it everywhere. Speed bumps should not take 10 minutes to drive over.
Do drop the car before you put wheels on, especially if you don't do the typical H&R/Bilstien setup (WAY too harsh for my taste) so you don't waste money or time on wheels that don't fit. If you do a wheel intended for a FWD car, you will need spacers. You will be shocked at how expensive they are.
There are several options out there, but R3V seems to hate on pretty much anything "different".
I think my basically stock car looks pretty good on 17s. I do plan on big brakes, but I want both ends, not just front.

I have a decent set of 16"s that I'll toss my cupkit springs with for another fifty.
Every day I wake up we drink a lot of coffee and watch the CNN
Every day I wake up to a bowl of clover honey and let the locusts fly in.
Lobsterbacks attack the town again
Wrap all my things in aluminum
Beams of darkness streak across the sky
Pink rays from the ancient satellite
Every time I look out my window same three dogs looking back at me.
Every time I open my windows cranes fly in to terrorize me.
