First step is identifying exactly what you're planning to put on the TI. This website may help: http://www.bmwstylewheels.com/3

My understanding is that most BMW wheels have the same bolt-pattern (5x120) but depending on what the original application was, you may need spacers to get them to fit.

Well I'm not using the car for track use, I am using it as a daily driver restore it while using it then, put it away nd but another preferable an e30, I do want slight mods to the car but nothing extreme just for my Sunday spirited driving that's all

Yes it the same bore size nd bolt pattern everything just the offset like factory ti sport is 16x7ET44 but these came off an e34 if I'm not mistaken nd they are 15x7ET25 I think, that is still a huge difference

The only thing you'd have to worry about would be possible rubbing in the rear, might need to roll the fenders.

Nope, with that offset they will be sitting further towards the outside than stock. The only clearance issues would be with the fenders.
