I dont think BBS made 17inch split rims in the 4x100 configuration, they did make 16inch x 7.25 but it is quite easy to replace the rim to make 8,9 or 10 inch wide.
with 16x7.25 you run 205/50/16 tyres and there will be no rubbing issues but it is quite well documented that the E30 handles best on 15 inch or 16 inch, but 17's tend to ruin the ride.
these are 16x7.25 BBS RS
alternatives are Schnitzers or BBS RH..
Alpinas are also a favorite but are much maligned due to the availablity of cheap copies.
