    BBS RM012's

    I've decided I need me some BBS Splits, and have found a set of these for a good price. I know they are et33, but do they fit on OK-ie without spacers? The ones I've seen have the original lips, and +2.5 and +3" lips...

    Thanks

      The offset gets lower as the lip gets bigger.

        Hi, I figured that, was just intrigued if they have any clearance issues with the strut or anything?

        Thanks

          That's the only problem you may run into however I think you're fine with the outside of the wheel regarding the lips. Will have to roll the inside of the fenders.

            The insides of the fenders/wings are rolled :)

            Just will it catch on the back?! Tried entering the details (et33 6.5" wide 15" dia for the standard BBS RM012's) on willtheyfit.com and it didn't look to sit much further back than the ones on there currently (et24, 7"wide 15" dia), but as they're not the cheapest wheels I'd thought I'd try find out for sure before getting carried away...

              ^The inner clearance will remain the same, since you're just making the outer lip bigger.
              I ran RM's for a little while 2 years ago.

                So they're ok, and don't need spacers etc?

                What sized RMs did you run?

                  I had 15x8", which had a 2" lip and the offset was 14mm.
                  No, you don't need spacers unless you want to run extremely small tires and poke.

                    Awesome, thanks.

                    The ones I'm going to see have 2.5" and 3" lips, does that mean they are 8.5" and 9"? I'd like ideally 15x7.5's or 8's up front and 15x8.5s out back...
