BBS RGR with 5mm spacer?

Gimmethecash · 03-19-2012, 11:55 AM

Want to push my fronts out a bit with some spacers - they're 18x8.5 ET38. Anybody know (without me having to pull one off) if BBS RGR's are beveled where they meet the hub? I don't want to have centering issues if I go with a 5mm spacer.

I could try a 10mm spacer with its own hubcentric extension, but I'm not sure if ET28 in front is going to stick out farther than my rears (18x9.5 ET33). e90 LCI.

What tire sizes you going with for front and rear?

9.5" et33 still sticks out 8mm more than 8.5" et28.. you'll be fine depending on tire size/ride height. I think BBS are chamfered/beveled on the hub, but not 100% certain.

Cool, thanks - I'm running 225/40/18 and 255/35/18 PSS, which run pretty wide. I'm on sport suspension with front lowering spring perches, but still a lot of space there.

I'm going to give the 10mm a shot, they should fit the best and if they're not going to be sticking out too far, will look better too.

Oh, you can run more than that even and be fine

Finally received the spacers (and studs & lugs) and installed everything tonight. I'm really happy with the results - the 10mm spacers make the fronts look much more in line with the rears and no worries with centering. Exactly the look I was trying to achieve.

Thanks!

just make sure you do some hub centric 5mm spacers.
if you dont im almost 99.9 % sure youll have a vibration issue.

Do you guys sell those? I'm not aware of any companies that have a hubcentric spacer under 10mm. I need a set, but I don't think rear hub extenders are available either... hurry up VAC.
