17x8 BBS RS question

[tdokmo]

I am trying to fit a set of 17X8 BBS RS's on a '89 325ic, with a 40mm offset. What size spacer would this require with a 215/40/17 tire size?

How would you like them to sit? A 20mm all around would look nice and fit well with those tires, but you could go a bit bigger if you wanted them to sit more flush with the fender.

I say 10inch in the front and 20inch in the rear to give it that aggressive stance.

Oh shiait! I meant 20mm and 10mm................:oops:

I don't think he can go any smaller than a 15 in the front due to strut clearance.

What is the bolt pattern on the 17x8 et40 BBS RS wheels?

I was not aware they came in a 4x100mm bolt pattern, or at least it does not appear they do by looking at the model list of BBS RS's...

I am having them custom assembled, as BBS never made a wheel with these specs. I currently have a 2 sets of 15mm spacers that I would like to use front and rear.

Really? I had some ricer wheels with 43-45 offset and only needed the 10mm spacer. You maybe right thou 'cause from I can remember I had a little bit of rubbing issues with no fender rolling.

His are 8" wide though.

$5 says your ricer wheels were skinnier :p
