As far as E30/VW wheels go, the PCD and central bore are the same (4x100, 57.1mm) but the offset is usually different. E30s need a max ET25, whilst VWs are usually around ET38, so there'll be some rubbing.

Yes mate. Ideal offset for 9J wheels is 15 i believe :)

i've got a set of azev 'a' wheels (for sale winkeye ) which are 7.5j 16" et35 , the rears fit with 205 tires without rubbing any bigger and they rub on the inner arch, i put on 15mm hubcentric spacers and had 225/40 tires on with no issues. but they won't fit on the front without spacers
if there wern't people like me,
with cars like mine,
who would you put down to make yourself feel better?
