BBS Garage: All things BBS

[-negrito-]

Question, I purchased a set of BBS RS 021 and I believe the front will poke out too much, I dont know much on proper offset.

Specs:
5x120
Front:16x8 et11
Rear: 16x9 et24

Just want to confirm are they doable? If they do poke, I am planning to widen the fenders either way.

Thanks in advance.

Edit: forgot to mention Im going to use adapters

Swap the lips and keep them in the same front and rear.

Where are you all getting your sealant from? Online? or can I just use black rtv sealant you can find at any auto parts store?

Any fender mods? I doubt those will work with adapters.

These have 2" lips, squared.

Yup, that stuff works great!

Wheres the best place to find metal valve stems that will fit my rs 131s? Im using the stock lips with the "reverse lip", seems like the bolt or washer are too wide to fit inside the lip.

Aloha,

Here's a few pics of RS's 003's and 15mm H&R spacer and 11mm (5+6mm) staked spacers to clear Wilwood's 6 pot front brakes.

What I really need is rim's that have centers with overall 13.375" diameter, measured at lip bolt's., washer and O ring represent lips



with 11mm spacers (5+6mm) ...

I just bought brand new stems directly from BBS in Georgia. Less than $25 for all 4.

Here's one of the wheels I just refinished, repainted the faces gold, polished lips/caps, and new chrome bolts.
Its a RS018 5x130 16x9 et36. Should be mounted on my e30 sometime next week I assume, just need to refinish one more wheel (3 are fully done) and order valve stems.
Rears are RS018 and fronts are RS131 16x8.5 et56.

Completely stripped, 1 fiberglass seat, fiberglass front and rear bar, smaller fuel tank, no heater/fan box... basically anything that doesn't serve a purpose on the track isn't there...

I'm at 2630 with a full tank, all metal body panels (cf sunroof though) no heater box, etc. I do have a euro S50B30, which I think is a bit of a heavy motor, and a 4 door. I'm thinking that gutting the doors might get me 100lbs???

2300lbs is my goal, but I don't know where I can shave another 330lbs...

Are the brake pads fresh?

Pad depth doesn't change with 4 piston calipers like it does with sliding single piston ones.
