16x9!!!!!!! Take the wing off though. It worked with the 18s but I think it would look out of place with 16s. Less rim means less show.

Agreed! I personally hate small wheels on a lowered e30 with a bodykit, it just looks funny. I still think 18's are a good choice tho...

If your gonna dump your car on 16z, it'll look nice. Pending on the rims obviously. But I don't think you'd want to go any lower than you are right now with the Rieger kit. The 16z would not look that great if your gonna leave it at the height itz at now, and if it goes any lower aren't you gonna scrap? I would go with 18'z personally. But get what YOU like.
19inch doesn't look good on an E30. Too big. This is how I see it:
E30 - 18inch looks perfect
E36 - 19inch looks perfect
E46 - 19/20inch looks perfect

jeremy,
With your body kit the 16" X 9" wheels will look odd. Stick with a nice set of 18's.
