BBS Alloys (Size, Spacers and style)

Post by liam_w »

Hi all, I have a white 1990 VW T25 on 50mm avo dropped springs. Looking into getting some BBS alloys, black with a chrome rim. Just wondering what I'd need apart from a large wallet to get them onto the van. What kind of spacing/adapters should I go for and where from? As well as this, size matters... 17" sounds about right, want the wheels to fit nicely into the arches whilst keeping my spine in tact and not having to cut away any of the arch itself. Anyone got any further advice or even have a set they are selling? Thanks all, Liam.

BBs RS's 16" 5x112 from merc so raised back. Longer studs on rear and longer bolts on front. No spacers required. Will get model numbers of each wheel if of interest to you.

i have these i must get round to finishing.

17x7.5 and 17x9.0 bbs rs. in 5x112 merc fitment..
that are actualy the same cast centre section as big red bus´s ones but they use a bigger rim section.

if you hve deep pockets "big red bus" i can bulid yours into 17´s..... 8)

it has taken me a lokg time to get the bits for the 17´s.

16" rs are not to bad to find.

but still hold big money.
