BBS CH Size Options

[trancenation]

For all of you folks with BBS-CH Wheels, what size options (17, 18. 19) are you running and are you lowered?

Thanks.

BBS CH015 18x8.5" all around with 245 wide rubber. Lowered on H&R Race Springs.
Had to roll fenders and shave some plastic from the rear wheel well to make them not rub.

In the pic tires are Falken 452's (245/35 ZR19 front, 275/30 ZR19 rear) - will be changed out this year to Toyo Proxes T1 Sport tires in the same size.


On my ZHP I run 19x8.5 ET35 front and 19x9.5 ET40 rear

Toyo Proxes T1 Sport tires (235/35 ZR19 front, 255/30ZR19 rear)

Rear fenders on both cars are rolled :) Both cars are set up with BC Racing coilovers and lowered.

Gosh, someone needs to sell me their set.

ha! me too! :) these wheels aren't the lightest (~24lbs for the 18x8.5") but they look perfect on an E46...

[BADCLOWN]

Ill be running the same setup as Charlie on his imola ZHP but on ground control Coilovers

You're absolutely correct Peter but like you said.... they look perfect on E46 :thumbsup

I approve of this setup :roundel

just had mine mounted 4 days ago,

running 18x10 rears on 255/35/18 ET40 and 18x8.5 fronts with 225/40/18 ET35 (planning to add 5mm spacers to the fronts to go ET30)

18x10 in the rear???? How did you make that work?

[BADCLOWN]

curious as well, i figured 9.5 was the widest you could go without some sort of modification. (i plan to roll the rear fenders for my 9.5s anyways)

[az3579]

255 is a stretch on 10" wheels...

[iya_e46]

my rears require minimal fender rolling with the 18x10 on 255, in fact my friend pulled it off with coilovers and lower stance than me with almost no rubbing. Here a pic of the 255 tires on 10's (doesn't look that stretch to me)

Dunno how you're not rubbing... I was rubbing like crazy in the rear when I put my 8.5" CH's on, and that was with ​a fender roll and 245 tires. :dunno
I had to modify by shaving of a considerable amount of plastic from the area.

i am wondering the same thing, that profile pic above shows the wheel extending out past the bodywork...

my paint guy did not want to roll my rear fenders for me - he said "you don't want to go there" in regards to the longevity of the wheel arch itself (rust ingress is far greater, apparently).

[ELCID86]

I have the mafia roller if anyone needs it...

I had a 18x9.5 ET35 on my preface sedan and gave me no rubbing as well, same tires and cupkit setup. You're talking about the rears right? And 18's not 19's?

Yup, 18x8.5 et35. I also had a cupkit setup - I retained the springs but changed the shocks. Same ride height though...

rear camber and amount of rear fender work really are the important points here.

He said minimal rolling was done... camber doesn't look out of the ordinary either.

[BADCLOWN]

10 doesn't look stretched much at all and the camber in the rear doesn't look totally out of the ordinary for a lowered car.


Looks great.

[L0veZHP]

so the real long time, age old question is... 18in or 19in!?!?!!

Your springs are race and mine are sport that made the difference why you rub
