BBS RGR 18"

cvc 22349a · 01-13-2009, 08:26 PM

Anyone have pics of 18" BBS rgr's on a 335i? Have searched to no avail. Specifically intereseted in 18x8.5 fronts and 18x9.5 rears. I'm wondering how they'd fit/look with 235f/265r? Not interested in aggressive/flush look or rolling fenders but would like then to stick out a bit more than oem 162's..

Back in the dusty archives near the beginning of e90post is the following link:

Also the RGRs have an et38 offset for the 8.5 inch wheel vs 34 for a sport package thus the front wheel will push in by 4 mm from offset and push out about 6 mm because of the wider width - net effect of pushing out by 2 mm (negligible). The rear 9.5 inch has an offset of 33 vs stock at 37 - net impact including consideration of the wider wheel is 9 mm closer to the fender.

Thanks for digging up that link. Your calculations sound just like what I'm looking for (pushed out a little with a wider contact patch).

He got it right, they are pretty close to stock. Should fit nicely.

Just checked your calculations using the calculator above: For the rears, the 9.5 wheel w/265 tire pushes in towards the shock by 9mm and OUT towards the fender by 17mm. Would this rub and/or require fender rolling?

Negative, ET38 on 9.5 rear wheel will NOT rub.

It's actually ET 33 on the 9.5" wheel not ET 38. Does this mean the wheel will push out towards the fender further?

Offset on a 9.5 can go as low as +28 on a coupe and a 265 tire with no rubbing....and even lower offset on a sedan
