right where to start.

the wheels have to be pcd 4 x 100 - otherwise the studs wont fit.

as for the offset, well u cud fit 30 or 35mm to an e30 but you would most likely need to use spacers

I bought a 318i for spares which had 16" ET30 Azevs on. The front wheels were rubbing slightly against the struts.

'That case, you'll need 10mm spacers and probably longer studs
