cage in a cab? the whole point of the cab was it's level shoulder line. the screen surround is supposed to be strong enough to survive a roll over - wouldn't like to put it to the test though, particularly if there's rust in the scuttle.
14s are the smallest wheels you can run as 13s won't clear the front brake calipers. you could change the brake setup i suppose...
pcd is 4x100. i may be corrected here but i believe the offset varies according to the size of wheel you intemd to run. 16s are good carl - they look right on the e30 and don't spoil the ride. try looking up Borbet type b or konig diva for a couple of dished examples, there's loads more.
