So I found a set of wheels that I think are incredibly fucking hot. 16x9 bbs rs.

et36, but come with 25mm h&r spacers. unsure about a 25mm spacer, so I’m just looking for some feedback

I’m not a fan of the stretched tires, I’d try to have my fenders PULLED when I get my bodywork done, and get some real meat under there. obv nowhere near as extreme as this, as he’s running 10.5" out back, but something like this

Meh. Thats almost an inch…

I would opt to get longer studs…

How are they on his car? Is there any vibration, or loosening?

it would obv need longer studs

BMW’s use lug bolts instead of lug nuts though, so just longer bolts. I believe they come with the rims

the kid selling the rims said there’s no vibration problems, and its all good

I would love to get some fender flares and put some real meat on there

I don’t know the limits but thats a pretty big spacer…keep in mind it increases wear on ball joints and wheel bearings. Also will have an effect on scrub radius and other suspension geometry.

Yeah, 25mm is a big ass wheel spacer. You should be fine if you do a stud conversion, then run the spacers. Ask LAFENGAS about the stud conversions, he looked into them when we were screwing around with his wheels and brakes.

i’m running 70mm studs all the way around right now. The 70mm is too much on my rears (i’m not running spacers like I am on the fronts)

PM me if you wanna work something out with taking the 70mm studs i’m running on the rears. I need to get some 40mm’s on the back.

I believe your thread size is the same is mine.
