mike 6 Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 been offered som nice bbs wheels on a good dealonly problem is teh rears are 8.5inches and as tehy are bmw bbs they run hub adapters pushin them out another 20mm! (making them as good as 9.3inches wide)result is:they actually run pass the arch, which means i cant lower it much right? obviusly id get teh arches rolled, but they wil still rub surely if they arent sitting inside it?does this look funny to anyone else?maybe i should just wait for 7.5 all around?any advice?

Caddymatt1380 0 Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 If you can get it lowered first any good bodyshop should be able to roll your arches around them. I love that look though. Euro look low and wide. Link to post Share on other sites
xyber 1 Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Im thinking the same about my new wheels, all though when the adaptors are on they will have a final ET of around 33-35 so I think ill just get away with itWhat ET are the wheels your looking at? Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 The bodyshop would need the wheels to be able to pull arches just enough to cover em Link to post Share on other sites
trix2702 23 Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 I ran 7.5 all round and had 20mm adaptors turned down to 17mm was close at the back but didn't rub until on it hoop, The 8.5's would probably fit okay and if they were too much could easily camber the top in a touch..
