3. 15x7, ET 25
You should keep them all at ET22. The problem with the standard E30 fitment Kosei K1's was that at ET27 if you used a beefy 225 tire (even some street rubber, like the S-03) you can contact the front struts. Even the 15x7.5 ET25 Ronal LS', same deal. Just barely not enough room. At ET22, things should clear nicely. I spec'd the 15x8 Rota Slipstreams that 18racing sells at ET20 just to be 100% safe with ALL 225 tires, but the ET22 should be fine.
Hope that helped,
Jay

Thank you, that is helpful. I was pretty sure that 22 or 20 would be ok but it's good to hear as well. The euro basketweeves have been pretty popular in the past and I think those are ET27 but are also 15x7. All the E30 M3 wheels are ET22 or ET20 and I've always run a 5mm spacer for extra track. Course I know the fender clearance is differet.
Anyway, thanks!

Cheers.
I back up what Jay said. I remember running into someone at Bluegrass with Euro weaves and hoosiers needing a small spacer, so a little more help is a little more help in the situation.

Lemme know, I can still influence this. Cheers.
