BBS CH 8x18 et35 with 225/40R18 tyres - will they fit the LCR?

GTste · Apr 6, 2008

just a quick one and found this on a search, just after confirmation.

bbs CH 8x18 et35 with 225/40R18 tyres ok for my LCR without spacers?

depends on the design of the wheel aswel, i know the 19" fit but not sure about 18"

GTste · Apr 7, 2008

well i think the 18" CH rim fits as a few people have them but maybe on a different offset.

anyone with them confirm?

You can't get genuine BBS CH in ET35 for 5 x 100, they are ET30 which stick out beyond the arch a little. They fit over Brembos without spacers though yes. If they are ET35 then they are fake copies.

thanks for that mate, hes getting one of the wheels off the car today to confirm.

they are currently on a mk4 golf if that helps?

RobDon · Apr 7, 2008

BBS only made the CH's to fit the Golf Mk4 platform in ET30 and they are 8.5 x 18 not 8 x 18" as well (BBS CH002).

ok well fingers crossed they are et30 then, says on the inside of the rim somewhere i believe? what are the tell tale signs of copies?

i will find out later, waiting for him to get back from work.

thanks again for the info.

it the car lowered on coilovers , you might need to fit a 3mm spacer on the front to help with clearance of the tire , as i am running 8.5x18 et 30 wheels with 225/40/18 and the car been lowered just abit , and there only about 2mm between the tire and adjuster on the coilover .

I know Lee (sixpot) had fitted a 3mm spacer on his old lcr when it was running 19" ch

nope standard suspension at the moment so clearance should be ok.

cheers.
