Just a quick one really. Would running Vauxhall wheels have a detrimental effect on an E30's handling or my health? I realise that they are the same PCD but different offset ET49. Would there be any other problems?

25mm spacers, centre bore is different too IIRC

Can anyone suggest how to test if the boot lights are staying on with the boot shut?

my alpina reps fit straight on my vauxhall although the offset makes the front stick out an inch.

Center bore is to small.
