u will need 2 get the arches rolled at the very least. like spunkymonkey said theres loads on e38 that run wide wheels.

got a quote of about £30-£40 per arch to get rolled

Just for info a Bmw E30 has a center bore of 72.6, a Golf is 57.1 so you will need to get custom spiggot rings so they locate on the hubs.

Shame then!

9J is a bit wide but I have had 8J on without any problems and as yours is only 35mm lowered you may have got away with it!
Oh well sorry you missed them. Keep searching!
