BBS RS - e30 m3 5 lug question

[namsayin]

Is it possible to fit a 7" barrel in the rear? i know the RS 197s use 6.5" barrels but i want to fit as much as possible in the rear.

thanks

Depends on how much lip you want and what ET you are trying to run.

7" barrel with .5" inverted lip is cake. hehehe

Need to be more specific.

[namsayin]

size is still a secret as this is going onto the next chassis.

im kind of unclear about your post, but they do fit?

[z31maniac]

If we don't know the size and offset, we can't tell you if it will fit.

You can put just about any size lip on the barrel/center, which will affect the width and offset.

If you're trying to keep your fitment a secret, just PM Mystikal and ask for advice. he won't go blabbing your fitment to everyone or anything like that.

^ well size or offset wont matter as my question is only about whether a 7" barrel will fit the rear e30 m3 5 lug w/o spacers and w/o rubbing the strut.

[D-rock]

Yes then it will fit.

[Colorlesss]

you would need to post specs on your bbs faces. distance from the mounting face to the actual barrel mounting surface. with those measurements someone could tell you if they will fit. if you dont understand what i mean i could try and post a pic of the measurements you should get

All he wants to know if a 7in barrel will fit. So there for yes.

[namsayin]

its not that simple.

can it fit .. sure, will it .. cant say.

[namsayin]

like i said, the faces im running are the same size are RS 197 which have 6.5" barrel. all im asking is if i can fit an extra 0.5" in between there or not.

Size and offset always matter when your trying to fit a wheel with close clearances. All the BBS faces are different, depends on how they were made, and im pretty sure the people giving you advice dont know the exact specs of the 197's. In order for them to help you, we need the measurements of the bbs center. From where the center bolts to the hub, to where the center bolts to the inner barrel. Your best bet is to break out your ruler.

No one gives a shit about your wheel size/style/choice that you insist on keeping secret. If your smart enough to ask for help, but too dumb to listen and your wheels don't fit, your only hurting yourself.

LOL bro!!1pureSxE!

is your garage too cold to go out and measure?

no worries, if you get good responses trying to explain things, just ignore them and re-ask the question 6 times haha.

He understands that but he wants it to be top secret! :hitler:
