very aggressive wheel fitment potential. BBS content!

Bbs rx 209 et10. 18x8.5 Yes, you heard me.


Found a good price on em. Want to fit them on my z. Ignore the mild fitment you normally see, and would suggest. Not trying to get that look. I'm ready to roll fenders, flare, stretch tires, and run camber out the asscheeks. Don't ask why, this is my car, not yours. My daily driver too .

My question is, will it be enough ?

since I can't get them redrilled around here, I'll have to run adapter spacers. That'll push em out to -15 offset I believe. Hence very aggressive.

Anyone know where I can find a set of thin spacers? Imma need em. Baaadly!

They may have poor fitment in the rear, up front they should be ok. Currently im runnng 18x9+25, 225/40, stock camber and its sunken about .5" and in the rear im running 18x10.5+20, 235/40, roughly -3-4 degrees camber and its also sunken about .5". I would go "Flusher" but its a functional drift car and ill likely raise it and de camber.

So unless your getting those wheels for DEALS (which to me would be like $400>) i wouldnt bother with the adapaters. 18x8.5 is your standard "weak" fittment. Yes they are +10 but in an 8.5 thats only like 2-2.5" lip. (I may be wrong on the lip size, im no expert, but my 9s are +25 and they have 3" lip, rears have 4.25" lip at +20ET. If those BBS are not staggered the rear will be sunken without a huge spacer.

Don't do it. All that work for only 8.5s? Haha really not worth it.

Well, I mean, they're BBS's and I figured they'd be a better choice than getting some other cast wheel that people would just chastise me for.

No but really, i was thinking that too about them only being 8.5 width.. but whatever. They're sold so it's not even an issue anymore.

However, now that those wheels are gone, I might look into BMW M Parallel's in 18x9.5 at around +25 offset. but i'll need adapters, again. Good thing is they might fit even with the adapters. It'll be a tight fit with essentially a zero offset though.


If you're wondering why i want other-than-5x114.3 wheels, don't. The M Parallels are sexy as f*ck and I'd want them installed. There's some other sexy 5x120 wheels out there as well, but none are my only option.

My question is, with a 5x114.3 wheel, with the right 66mm center bore, what would be the absolute widest wheel I can run in the front and in the back on rolled and flared stock fenders/stretched tires/2 degrees of camber?
