BBS std wheels for G50...what's the offset and width?

[Peterofdevon]

Anyone have this handy?

Thanks so much,

I'm 99% sure it's 15x6.5 +45

[maxnix]

Yes.

Two years late with this post. I have gold/silver German made BBS wheels on my 1994, they are 7Jx15 with a 35mm offset. Believe they have been on the car since new, probably dealer installed. With the 35 offset they come 13mm further out than the factory pans, looks just right. They are so hard to keep clean that I am thinking of replacing them though, but I have to say they look nice.

How about a pic....

Let's see if this works - here's Gramma's Q45
Note the "great" tires, single ply Douglas tires from Wal-Mart, they are definitely coming off soon, not even safe to drive on even though they're fairly new. The wheels I like, just impossible to clean. I think the offset is just right on these.

Looks great. When you replace the tires try to get the wheel weights put on the inside .

[madnorwegian]

Right, who puts weight on the outside these days? And these tires were put on recently. I need shocks, so I am thinking Eibachs too, I think that would give it the perfect ride. May go 17s with 50 profile tires while I'm at it, we'll see what the budget says.

Keep us updated with what you decide to do with the suspension upgrade.

1999 Jaguar XJR w/ 13k miles....that's low mileage even for that car. How's the exhaust manifold?

[madnorwegian]

Ah, the XJR, I recently sold it as I am in between jobs and it didn't make sense to have two cars, so this is why I am focusing some energy on the Q. The Jag was perfect in every way, everything just like new. Here's the slideshow that sold it in only two days:

I haven't been in one of those in a long time. What a beauty! Excellent slide show. No wonder it sold in only 2 days. You're going to miss it .

Would you mind if I saved the slideshow and how do you do that?

[madnorwegian]

Don't think there's a way to save it. It's basically images uploaded to Flickr, then arranged into a set. The set has a "slideshow" button with its own html address so you can link the slideshow directly from other pages, in my case the cars.com ad. It was pretty slick and sold the car fast. Only took me about an hour to do once I had the pictures - Some photoshop for the license plate, bulk image resize and compress, upload to Flickr, arrange in set, write comments and that was it. Yupp, I'm slightly anal.

AND - I just put my BBS wheels on eBay. If anyone here wants them, have a look:
