BBS RS fitment

Hi all,

I am looking at getting a set of BBS RS wheels,

Specs are as follows;

R15 et 38 7j

I am not sure what the fit will be like? from my knowledge i unerstand they would sit more inside the arch as they are a positive offset?

If so would they fit my mk1? its a 1.3 driver.

Below are pictures of the car with my current wheels, bullet steels fitted, specs are;

R13 et20 7j on the fronts and R13 et0 8J on the rear;





Many thanks

Toby

I forgot to add, current wheels also have 5mm spacers all round

higher offset is better for you lad. can always up the specs of the RS with new lips or barels  

38 is in the arch more  

if you leave the spacer out on both sets the rs's will sit in more by 18mm front also 18 mm closer to your strut an 51mm on the rear an25mm closer to your shock    

also they will be taller so you can lose that arch gap  

Haha yea the arch gap is the main reason i was looking at 15s thanks for your help everyone, i will post pictures when they are on  

So this might have happened at the weekend…



Thanks again to everyone for the advice, cant wait to build them up 

good lad

Thought i would post a little update here incase anyone else stumbles across this topic asking the same thing.

I built a wheel up yesterday to trail fit and here are the results, the specs on my wheels are - 15" et38 7J

The fronts first









They sit very close to the strut so i will be running 5mm spacers just to bring them out a touch.

And the rears;









loads of room with the rears, i will probably look into buying some 1.5/2" lips for the rears
