205/55 r15 is standard, some people prefer 205/50s

I've had both sizes on BBS's throughout the years. The 50 series tyres look the best, and are probably chepaer too!

£80 for BBS's is okay. They are definitely not the right size rubber for the E30 though. They need to be in really good condition if you're going to buy them as you're going to have to change all 4 tyres...

Make sure they're even e30 wheels - can't believe someone'd deliberately fit tyres like that! Could be 6J golf wheels, or even 14"s?

Check the tyres to see if they really are 15" or 14", and look inside where the centre cap goes to see if it says BMW.

185/60/14's are what the 14" BBS's run as standard aren't they...?
185/60/15's are a very obscure size...

Geeman - it's 195/65/14 for the BMW
185/60/14 for VWs... but with a different wheel offset?
