was wondering if 16" ba stockies would fit on an ef as only a 16" wheel, with low profile tyres?

Will need spacers/adapters on the front. Backs will fit but they'll sit in a fair way if you don't use adapaters/spacers.

35mm spacers actually, I have them with BA XR6 wheels. They dont foul on the guards with 235/45s.
E series offset is 0, BA +36....

I'd be worried about 30mm hitting the upper control arm/knuckle..... 225s would be fine I would think, but I'd say 245s would be very very close.

Nah, the +36 on the BA wheels means the center is 36mm towards the outside of the wheel, the 35mm spacer brings it back to 1mm from dead center, pretty much spot on for E series.
