18x8" ET 48

Where is the best (Cheapest) place to get the BBS CK or CH's from?

 

[MatG]

BBS went bust so getting hold of wheels is tricky. They are making wheels again but the manufactures rather than the aftermarket the last I heard.

Best idea is to ring around a few suppliers and see who has got some in stock, or look on germany ebay etc.

sorry i have taken them off but trust me to much speed over a speed bumb and they catch rims, am gonna flog my rs4 replicas, also they stretch the tyres over 8j's

 

[MatG]

Stan would I get away with 8J x 18's with 215/35/18's ET 38-42

i think you would be putting on an un-necessarly small tyre, best to stick to 225/40 and get the correct offset, at the end of the day if the wheel itself is to far out the tyre will still rub.

BBS CH in 19' is by far the best looking, and there are also light in comparison with other 19' wheels.

These is my car:

Tristen - that looks great what wheel and tyre size are you running?

Not really a smaller tyre will stretch slightly to give more room under the arch. Giving that extra clearance will help fit the wheels I want to fit. 215 is not even very stretched on a 8J wheel.

215's on a 8.5J wheel -

so 215 on a 8J wheel is/will be fine but will give you that little extra clearance I just need to know where the wheel will sit with an ET/offset of ET38-42.

[leoncp11]
