dubber92 1 Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 just after some advice really, im looking at a set of bbs reps for my vr but im stuck between two sets one set are 16x8j front and 16x9j rear with a offset of et20 and et25the second set are 17x7.5j front and 17x8.5j rear with a offset of et35 all round.im useless when it comes to offsets and things so could anyone tell me if either set will fit without ripping my arches off or sitting in too far, the car has a 60mm drop already and sitting on 17"s with no scubbing, any help or advice would be great, cheers.

Marneus 78 Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 They will rub without arch rolling mate. I'm running 6.5 x 16 et 22 with 205/45 tyres & they rubbed like hell on the rear. Link to post Share on other sites

Daverse 175 Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 I wouldnt bother cutting the lips. Only making it weaker structurally and to rustSent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites
dubber92 1 Posted April 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 The car is being totally resprayed at the moment including new arches being welded in so now is the perfect time to adapt,Just need to figure something out with the wheel fitment Link to post Share on other sites
Marneus 78 Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 If you're putting new arches on then get them rolled flat & you won't have a problem unless you go stupid wide Link to post Share on other sites
jamesw6810 80 Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 you managed to get yours rolled marneus? Link to post Share on other sites
Big J 283 Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 17x7.5 will be fine in the front, I've done it many times with no arch work up front.8.5 on the back will sit too far in with et35, may need spacers. I used to run bmw bbs, 8.5j rear on adaptors whic resulted in a final offset of around et23. I think. Rear arches are rolled on mine and it sat just perfect. Link to post Share on other sites
