Default E30 BMW 14x6.5" BBS wheel question

Found one topic in the search, from a 1st gen teg owner that had these mounted and said they worked fine, but that was it.

So, 14x6.5", 30mm offset... Will these stick out of the fenders at all or should I be safe? I have a '92 Civic lowered to about a finger and a half worth of gap (not sure of the measurement) and rougly 1.5 degrees of negative camber all around.

Just wondering if these will fit ok for my daily driver, going to use 195/60 Azenis.

That was me. I actually just sold these with 205-55-14 V700s a couple of weeks ago to somebody with an EG. He ran them last week for the first time and mentioned that they rubbed slightly on hairpins. His car has a GSR swap, and some lowering springs that are way too low and probably not stiff enough. There wasnt even a finger gap on his setup i think. Basically, if you do the math, a 6.5" ET30 rim will not stick out more than say a 7" or 7.5" ET38 rim. It would still be close though with a slightly taller 195-60-14 tire, but it should work.

i tried a bronze multi-spoke bmw wheel from a late 80's bmw on my car and they spun freely and didn't rub anywhere. I didn't actually get in the car and try them out (tire was too tall, car too low) but they fit and just spinning the wheel in the air, there was no rubbing on the caliper.

Yes I used the BBS 14x6.5" rims for a whole year they did the job well. with 225-50-14 toyos mounted on them. But they bend easily if you hit the apex too hard.
