I'm pretty sure I saw an E30 over here, I'm currently working in Bavaria, with those on the other day. If not them then very similar.

Will spacers effect the ride, handling at all?

The hub bore is too small! I don't recall the exact size, but you would have to machine out the hub bore on all 4 wheels to 57.1mm to fit them on a e30.
Then you would also need spacers as they are going to be a high offset.

ACS used to make 16' rims for e30's. Are you sure they were 17's?

If you using good spacers with nuts you can have E30 hub size on the inside and Minis hub size on the outside.
Hope you understand what I mean
