I have had a set of 15 inch Alpina wheels off an E21 on my E30 for the last 2 weeks. They have an offset of ET12. I have had a blast with them on! It makes the E30 extremely chuckable, more sideways fun than I have had for a while. I normally run 16 inch wheels. The 16 inch wheels give more ultimate grip still with good handling feel. I reckon the E30 owner needs 3 sets of wheels. A set of 17 inch - for show days, a set of 16 inch - for track days, and a set of 15 inch - for when the mood strikes for chucking the thing about and spending more time sideways than straight. :banana:
