    BBS eggheads I need your knowledge!

    With a set of bbs rs's at 5x114.3 16x7" and 16x8" and a et of 45, should I fill and drill or run adapters?

        plenty of offset to run spacers.

        et45 - 18mm spacers = et27, totally doable.

          Use adapters. Make sure they are hubcentric on each side
          Brake harder. Go faster. No shit.

              I have this same exact question!

              I'm thinking 20mm spacers will give a really nice et of 25.

              Will that clear the struts and the caliper?

                Brutus, what tire size are you going with? anyone else feel free to chime in...Tire sizes are for the wheels mentioned above.

                  Def adapters, I bet there rs137/225 which may have pockets. Some do, some dont.


                  If they have pockets, there tough to redrill. I can do it though.

                    I would think 205/50 is good.

                    Also, I have an eye on a set of the same wheels.


                    Only problem, is I hope they will clear the strut and caliper at an et of 25 with 20 mm adapters.

                    Anyone willing to chime in?

                    My only reservation is i haven't seen a single E30 on this setup.

                        quick question, BBSer's et of 36, is this doable or need a spacer, there

                        5x120.65


                        can you run a 9" on the front of a e30, thanks Steve

                        thinking I could run a spacer/adapter then put them on the M3 too,
