16" is the happy medium. Perfection. Unless you're rich and have the money to have a set to flaunt around, like 18" BBS RS or LM for an e30 m3 with evo lip, spoiler, hella low.
my dream setup on an e30 is and e30 m3. evo aero kit. really low. diamantschwarz, calypso, or zinno. 18" bbs lm polished or bbs lm.

The only issue there being the wheels won't clear any sort of tire other than a rubber band, your wheels will bend and crack and you will hate life, not to mention the fact that the car will drive like crap. 16s are as big as you want to go if you value your fenders, inner fenders and want to run a tire wider than a 205. My car came with 17x8.5s and a 225 wouldn't clear the fenders up front and would rub like mad on the inner fenders at nowhere near lock. I have to scratch my head every time I see an e30 on 17s or larger. It also make the car look like a hotwheels toy.16" is the happy medium. Perfection.

Everything else sounds good aside from being really low, because again, you will rip the splitter off the car (been there and done that) and the suspension geometry will be entirely screwed up and will blow through its front travel like its got no springs at all, the rear will chew up tires like they are skittles. How do I know this? I've been playing this game since I bought the car. I think I'm finally getting close after making some one inch spacer plates that fit on top of the camber plates. In hind sight, I should have gone for inch and a quarter tall spacers. I'd like to bring the rear end up half an inch as well. Ultra low is the answer to the question of how to spend lots of $ replacing broken parts.
I honestly don't get the big wheels and ultra low stance look. It takes a really good car and makes it a total POS when it comes to actually using it. At that point, why bother?
