BBS Style 5's (BBS RC's) on 2010 128i

akerns429 · 07-19-2014, 01:08 PM

Hey All,

Hopefully you can help shed some light on this. I have a 2010 BMW 128i with stock suspension setup. I have a set of BBS Style 5 wheels that are 17x8 with a 20mm offset. I'll be using 205/45ZR-17 tires. Do you know if I will have problems with running this setup? I'm also using hub centric centering rings, since the hub size on the Style 5's is slightly larger.

P.S. Here's a couple pictures of the wheels and my car.

Thanks!

Drew

If you make this work you will win style points

Issues are fenders in the front more than the back. et20 offset will be tricky to fit. With spacers et 35-40 will work
In the rear it may be easier with spacers to get it to et35-40 level.

Plus as a 128i you have the rear Hub mod available in the extreme case,

Thanks for the reply! Hmm so maybe I have this confused, but I thought that having the 20mm offset would cause to wheel to be further out to begin with. So in essence if I added spacers to it, then it would be an even lower offset? When you say I might have problems with it rubbing the fender, do you mean the actual painted part of the fender or the plastic fender lining?

Thanks!

Correct. a x8+20 will protrude further than a x8+30.

Thanks for the reply! So if I roll my fenders, do you think this would work?

It would depend on several different factors : ride height, alignment specs, tire size/brand, driving style etc

With a bit of negative camber, slight stretch, minor roll.. you should be fine.

For those of you who were interesting in if these would fit or not! I created a thread in the Photo's and Video section!
