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

akerns429 · 07-19-2014, 01:07 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

Don't know, but I sure hope so, those look sweet!!

I'm also curious about this, since I have a set of these from my e36.. always been curious if they'd fit the 1er.

Thanks for the response! I'll definitely let you know if it works. Since you have some of these from your e36 have you ever tried mounting them on your 1?

Those are definitely not RC's. I believe they are RS's. Sorry it's the MKIV forum side of me popping out, RC's on the 337 GTI's are the best wheels I have seen. Bar none.

No problem, my bad. Any input for the question at hand?

Doubt it, these cars like high 40 to mid 50 offset. You'll most likely rub even with 205's else it'll be super close.

It will be really close. I'm running style 68's with 10mm spacers in the rear.

tires- 225-45-17

rims- front: 17x7.5 et 41 rear: 17x8.5 et 50

The fronts are pretty close but i have pulled and rolled fenders so i have more space. et20 Is going to bring it really close and you'll most likely need fender work as well. The rear's will probably be okay, might need a roll.

Awesome! Thanks for the reply. Do you have any pictures of your car? Can you tell when looking at your car that you rolled your fenders or is it a very small adjustment so your wheels don't rub?

I forgot to also ask, are you still able to use your plastic fender lining if you do this? If not, do you find a lot of dirt accumulation under there? I'm just not 100% familiar with fender rolling so pardon my ignorance haha

akerns429 · 07-20-2014, 10:24 AM

I guess another thing to take into consideration is that I haven't lowered my car at all. It looks like you used some Eibach's to lower yours a little bit? How hard is it to roll my fenders if I buy a fender roller? I'd test fit the wheels but they aren't supposed to be here until next week... I can't wait to be honest, they look pretty darn amazing.

Sorry i didnt get a notification that you answered until now. The rears you can't tell at all but the fronts you can tell since i had them pulled a little. If you just have them rolled with no or little pull, you won't really notice. I think the pull looks good but thats just me

I've got the same wheels for my winter setup but without spacers. The rear wheels fill the arches perfect!
