E30 Fitment

[K-Line]

ok first off i know this probably asked a lot, but i did search and couldnt find a solid answer so here we go. I recently bought an '87 325 sedan, not my first bmw but my first time lowering and really modifying a car. Im running a ground control coilover conversion kit with stock length struts in the rear and IX struts up front with camber plates. ive been looking for wheels and have been looking into diamond racing wheels just as a temporary option cause there cheap. I want to run 15x8 all around (i know some of you think 15 is small but i will be low so it will be fine) but i dont know what off set to run? theyre offered in -12 and 0, i just dont know what to run! cause ive also read that ill need 10mm spacers to clear the brakes? so I just want to know what i would need to run to get a solid fitment that doesnt poke a sh*t ton and will be relatively flush? Thanks in advance everyone!

15x8 +0 will poke quite a bit but definitely will fit with the rear fenders rolled and a stretched tire. -12 will require a lot more I run 15x8 +20 and a 205 50 and mine sit pretty flush. Hope that helps out some
Here is a pic of my car for reference

They also offer a +12 offset, if I understand correctly that should take away some of the poke? Also will I need spacers with these wheels to clear the calipers?

[Pootis]

With the +0 you might need a spacer I'm not sure though. Yes +12 will take away some of the poke. It all depends on the look you are going for I know a guy locally who is running 16x9 +0 he pokes a lot and had to do some fender work but they fit with a 205 tire

16x8 +0, 7 mm spacer so 16x8 -7 effective, still needed to grind away a shit ton of the caliber bracket. Rear was 16x10 +12
