bbs rs fitment

[b0k1]

hey, anyone have any idea how a set of 16x7 +24 16x8 +24 bbs rs wheels would fit on a stock 1997 vr6? how much space would be left till poke and all that. thanks for any replies.

Just quickly, should be a pretty good setup. Minimal if any poke (8"s on the back though)

Rayray will be able to give you a more specific answer though.

Haha thanks for warming me up Jarred.

If they don't need adapters and you're fitting them on just like that, they'll sit nicely - no poke, the rim will sit a few millimetres inside the guard. Roll the guards though, as they might get caught on the tyre when you turn and land on bad bumps, causing some unwanted bodywork damage. I'd use 195/45R16 on the fronts and 205/40 or 205/45R16 on the rears, but if you can't be bothered buying mismatched tyres, 205/45R16 all around is OK, might look a little unflattering on the 7's though.

This is 15x7 ET20 front (ET24 will sit 4mm in):


And this is 16x8 ET20 rear (again, ET24 will be 4mm in):


So yeah, perfect offsets to start with Once you've come to the realisation you need more rubber stretching and scrubbing in your life, add 10mm spacers or buy +0.5" lips and you're golden!

Wow, thanks for all the info Ray. And is that a few millimetres inside the guard for the 7" or 8"? and will those tyres have to be stretched? sorry, I'm noob with tyres x.x

forget this post, didnt refresh for your last post.

could you guess how wide these lips are so i can get an idea on what new lips to get and how much they would poke out more.

thanks a lot so far.

Top two 1", bottom two 0.5"? Dom's got more expertise here.

Those fitments will need some guard rolling. Some stretch will help with clearance, and rub issues.
