BBS RM

[chad]

With the correct spacer will a set of BBS RM's (15x6.5 et33) fit under a non flared car??? My front fenders are rolled. I have a chance to purchase a set and would have to drive across state to get them and I konw they will go quick.

Should be fine with a 5mm spacer.....

Though, plan on longer wheel studs. The originals are NOT long enough for wheel spacers.

Ireland Engineering sells longer studs. Call and tell Jeff or Jeremy what you plan on doing to get the right length!

Also...... If those are the VW GTI BBS RM...... I believe Pinepig here has those wheels w/o spacers!!!! I believe you can find his Project Blog with an easy search.

Use them with 195/50-15 tires, 205's might rub a little. Plan on rolling the fender lips either way.

Tom,

kind of late to ask, but do you think I need longer studs with 3mm spacers?

As long as there's thread all the way through a regular open lug nut. I can't think of any better way to describe it. I ran "my" Cromodoras with the 1/8".... 3mm spacers w/o longer studs, so you should be fine with your setup.

Yes, it makes sense to test that way. thank you!

to confirm what tom said im running BBS rs's in that exact configuration in front and i run a 3mm spacer with 195's and im really low. no rubbing unless i go in a driveway sideways too fast. otherwise perfect

sorry, mine are ET34 but regardless youll be fine
