    Need BBS RF advise

    I want to run a staggered set of BBS RF wheels. I have a '90 325i with H&R Sports and Bilstein Sports with one spring pad in the rear. I am currently running a set of 17x7.5" wheels with 205/40/17 tires. The wheels are et40 with 20-30mm adapters as the wheels are 4x114 lug pattern. The fit is absolutely perfect. Flush up front and tucked nicely in the rear. I want to keep this look.

    Question...? How wide can I go without spacers and at what offset? I want to go staggered. So maybe a 8" front and 9" rears? I'd love to run 225/245 F+R respectively. I want as much tire as possible!

    I need some advise and/or pics of these setups. Barrel and lip widths would be great.

    Thanks, Matt

    Are those the specs of the RF's or of another wheel that you're currently running? If those aren't the RF specs then we need to know what they are before we can quote you any specs.

      He said currently running. So guessing those are your other rims.

      You need to let us know how much lip you want. I am going to be running 2front-2.5 rear on my RS.

      You gave no budget or size of lip. Just that you want 9 rears. So if I were you do some searching and find a set and then come back with what you found. I looked around for you and found some, but it is on your end with what you get.

      Sign up to wheelwhore.com I learned SO much in the few hours I spent reading there.

        What I need to know is how wide and what offset barrels can I fit. I would like to build the set myself because I have a sweet powdercoat color finish I plan on doing. The lips wont be hard because I can just measure them with the barrrels on the hubs.

        What et and width barrels do I need!?

        oh yeah... streched, poked wheels/tires looks retarded!
