how this for fitment! 9" bbs content

Tried one of my BBS rs on a mates mrs car earlier, no poke and its a 9" rim with a 215/45 tyre 8)

im shocked to say the least!

Not surprised on the rear really.

Don't burst my bubble! I thought they would have massive poke.

No they are 4x100 bbs rs072 ex BMW Motorsport wheels et3 fronts are rs 185 8j et3 4x100

If I had a clipper kit the rears would easily take another 1" -1.5" on the dish on the rears and 1" on the fronts.

Rich you'd need to put another £500 in my hand along with your rms lol

ive just bought a set of 7x16 bbs rs with an et of30 ,even this with a 195 40 is only a just fit.how the hell does an et3 get anywhere near.if you had not shown the pic i would have said it would look like a f1 car.i do know the e30 m3 had the et3 offset.next question the m3 bbs had a massive lump of alloyat the back of the hub that i suppose could have been turned down?.is this the case?

No as the m3 e30 is 5 stud! Lol

The wheels are all stock, not been machined and I measured the back spacing as I thought they had been built up to 9" but that's factory sizes.

ooops yeah sorry i should know i owned one for a year or 2.5x120 i believe.have you just used 1 bolt to hold it on just to see how it sits

No 2 bolts, put the fronts on earlier, they will require a different tyre choice and a bit of camber to fit spot on but might put a 1/2 " less dish on the front to save hassle.

i've just finnished refurbing a set of rs's




makes me wish id gone for bigger lips now

Did you fit the fronts yet, any more photos?
