So I'm getting some new alloys for the e30; Dare DR-RS 17x7.5" Front, 17x8.5" Rear.
Firstly, are these the correct fitment for a prefacelift, and secondly I'm wanting to give the car a bit of a wider base so wanting some wheel spacers, what size wheel spacers will I need front & rear.
Cheers dudes!

You'll need to know the offset (ET value) of the wheels.

The wheels will sit too far into the arch, hence you will need a sapcer to bring them out further into the arch.
Check this website, get the numbers from the old set of wheels, input them into the boxes and it will give you a diagram on how they will sit.
