 87 325is RIMS!? Question



I have an 87 325is really good condition.
I wanted to ask a few questions about rims since im fairly new to the bmw or even car world. Im only 17 lol....
My dad has a 535 and i have been looking around and he agrees that 15-17 inch rims are the best.
The rims on my car have a 25mm offset on the back.
If i am buying new rims do they have to be from a rear wheel drive car?
And what determines how wide your tire can be?
I heard it was a negative and positive thing that has to do with the thread.
If anyone knows about that please let me know about it? and how far can i have up to on my car.

That link has your car and wheels specific to it. You can also search the topic OFFSET and research.

If you try to run wheels meant for fwd cars, you'll have to run spacers to keep the wheels from being too far in and rubbing the struts.
