Looking at getting some wheels for my car,
Seen a set of Rita grids that I like, they are however 15".
First off how does an e30 cope on 15's? And secondly what will my offsets be like with a 8j wheel et0 and a 7j wheel et 20??
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks in advance!
Quick help with wheel fitment!

They should both be a pretty flush fit. If you're going to lower it you'll probably have to roll your arches but having 15's will work in your favour.

That dosent really help, I need to know what et changes, obviously it comes out from the hub but is that with a negative or a positive? It would be helpfull of a e30 genious would just tell me they will fit with a minimal arch roll!
15" now doesn't see is very normal, it's just my offsets now!

I think so anyway. The rears should be pretty flush. There might be a small bit of poke. I think the fronts might end up poking a bit.

The standard 15" diameter is 15"
Their width is 7J, as it says in the link I posted yesterday.
