RM012 are usually 6.5" wide with an offset of 33.
To make them 9" wide theyve had 3" dishes fitted, thus effecting the overall offset to about 3 if my calculations are still upto scratch.

Probably too aggressive for an e30 unless you run super stretched tyres or massive camber

Change the dishes to 2" would be my advice

They will fit, but you will need a stretch on the rear.
I've made plenty of these in 9j and 8j for zoners.

The gold wheel is 17" x9J with a 235 35 tyre the silver is 16"x9J with a 225 50 tyre.

I fitted the 16" to a lowered E30 with standard arches and the rubbed on the inner arch. I removed the wheel and got out the heat gun and folded the mental, problem solved! But I recommend having rolled by a pro.
