BBS RXII Wheels Fitment Questions...

GTS · Post by **GTS** » Wed Feb 27, 2008 11:44 am

Found a good deal on a set of BBS wheels and I was wondering if anyone can tell me if these are gonna fit, Offset being the major issue...

BBS RXII
Wheel diameter (in.) 16 Wheel width (in.) 6.5
Wheel lug pattern (mm) 5x100 Wheel centerbore (mm) 57.1
Wheel offset (mm) 43 notes:
Not forged
Stock tire size 205/55-16
2 piece design...

Any ideas if these will fit, I had 16x7 rims with 38mm offset I think and the same tire size and they barely fit, I had less then a quarter inch space between the tire and the struts...

The wheels should fit, but that tire size is incorrect. The aspect ratio should be somewhere closer to 45 or 50 at the most. The overall tire is too tall, which is probably going to cause it to rub the strut perch. A wheel spacer (3-5mm should be plenty) can buy you some extra room in the event the offset is too much, but I dont see it being an issue.

Cool, I was worried because my old tires were the 205 55 16 and they worked just fine but that was with a 7"wide rim and a 38mm offset, and tehse are 5mm less but also 0.5in narrower so as you said I assumed they will work but I guess I will need to double check..

Now is 250$ too mcuh for the set, BTW the tires are worn out and will need replacement soon...

$250 for a set of BBS wheels? That's a steal, if theyre in decent shape. Just remember, the tires will be just as tall as they are now, but slightly closer to the suspension components, so if you dont have room as it is, a wheel spacer or a properly sized tire is a must.

They do look close minus the VW symbol.

Geezzzee I didnt even notice that, I gues the guy had them on his VW, or got them from someone who had them on VW... As long as they fit, I can get them some dodge emblems to match...

Or the old school Chrysler decal would be tight!

Those are stock VW wheels. BBS makes them for VW. You can buy new caps from Ebay that say BBS or just get the BBS decal
