15x7j et12 Rota RB gunmetal/polished lip 4x100 wheels

I think these might look pretty good on the Red E30 Cab I pick up this weekend, and I'll be passing this town in a week or so..
(Struggling to picture it though - I'm going with the school of thought that says anything up to 1992 looks good on Minilite-a-likes..?)

But I'm not sure if they'd fit with no rubbing on a stock (if slightly saggy) E30.

Also not sure what is meant by "Conical seat"??

Hoping someone can advise..?

I fitted a Rota RB rim to my e30 which was 15 by 8j et 35. Fitted on the back no problem. Didn't fit on the front because of Wilwood 4 pot brakes. Fitted them with 16mm spacers on the front and then they were ok. 16mm spacers on back as well and still looked ok.

Looking at that I think with 7j you should be perfectly fine even though your et is only 12.
