[Peavey, Charlie]

He's referring to the wheel offset.  Here's a really good technical
reference site:

And to your other question:

Just to clarify for me.  The 30mm offset you are referring to - Are you
talking about 30mm wheel spacers?  

What spacers are required to accommodate normal wheels from a latter
chassis such as E12 and E28 chassis?

Cheers

David.

I'm pretty sure they are 30mm offset.  Yes, it is very tight in the
front.
The rims are from the late 80's, manufactured by BBS and are 3 piece.  I
got them from an e30 M3 that I purchased and I swapped some beat up
original rims for these light weight beauties.  The only thing I don't
like about them is the gold color.  I'll eventually get them refinished
to either black with a polished rim or the color of the car with a
polished rim.  But that'll come after the restoration and the saving up
of a lot of cash.

30mm is plenty of clearance for the top of your head -- an inch is as
good as a mile, right?  But, an 8" wheel with a 30mm offset is not
likely to fit the front of an e9, the struts are too close.  You could
probably get away with a 20mm offset.

 I've been running 16x8 with 225/35 and I haven't rolled my fender lips.
I think  my offset is 30mm off the top of my head.  The only issue I
have had is under  hard cornering, the inner part of the tire might rub
just a fraction against the  strut.  Not enough for me to get worried
about.

 Steve:
 
 I have lots of wheels.  I'll have to verify diameter when I get back in
town  late this week, but there are three styles.  One set is newly
blasted and  painted Alpina look-a-likes.  Another is the bottle-cap
wheel, original condition and pretty nice (currently with very nice
Michelin Pilot Sports) and  the third set (actually two sets, I think)
are the BMW mag wheel style.
They  are original and decent, although I doubt there are four perfect
ones.
None are  seriously damaged, just typical used wheels.
 
 Let me know if any of these interests you and I'll check to see if any
are 15" 
 diameters.  I know none are 16s.
 
 Dave
