Started looking for a new set of wheels for my iS, looking a getting some BBS split rims but all the different ET variations you get is confusing me a bit.

Whats the ET of the E30 and can different one sfit it or do they need spacers?

Cheers.

i think over et25+ is to inner the wing and may need spacer to give it the right look (bring it out again reduce the offset?)

and belowe the et25 depending on the width you will again need spacer for shock/calipper clearance.

7.5" and et25 fit fine, 7.5 et 20 (borbet A) rub with caliper hence need spacer 5mm at least.

vw golf have higher et 35 i think not sure, they fit but would require spacers.

thats what i made of it while i went throuh my borbets.

HTH.
