HI Guys!

I'm pretty new to the E30 game but I'm wondering if the below offset will rub.

16x8J ET19

16x8.5J ET15

hey, i was just reading through this thread on another e30 forum, may be of use to you,

http://e30performance.info/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=1684

still trying to get my head around it myself, but there are a few photos of an e30 on jap wheels that are 8.25 with an offset of et0 so you could guide it around that,

not much but hope that helps

No, you'll be fine.

Alpina wheels are 16x8j ET24

You'll get rubbing issues if you put the wrong tyes on.

This might help, On mine I've got 16'' 9j Borbet A's et15 all round with stretch 215/40 tyres on it I had to use 5mm spacer on front otherwise would hit the caliper
