Default Fitting 16" style 5's

Hey everyone, I bought a 96 ti last week so I'm new here. Well I found a set of 16 inch style 5's in great condition for 150 bucks. I ran these wheels on my e30, filled and drilled to 4x100 with 205/50/16 tires and they fit perfectly with minor modification. My question is, in order for these to fit with the low offset, will I have to roll the fenders at all to avoid rubbing? Whats the best tire size to run, and are spacers necessary to clear the calipers?

just to clarify, the rims you're putting on the ti are a different set from the ones you had on your E30, right? because the E36 is 5x120

Yes of course, the old set were sold with the e30
I loved how the car sat on them... looking forward to putting a set on the ti.
