BBS RS Pictures please - different sizes lips

[Whubbsie]

never figured to measure the thickness of the metal and subtract that to measure from the outside

I have 16x8s that are 1.5" lip and 6" barrels (flat mounted so the centers makes up the .5")

these are the specs of your wheels

BBS RS137 16x7 et45 5x114.3
BBS RS225 16x8 ET45 5x114.3

Yeah I had a look at the specs, just wondering how can you figure out the lip size from the specs, did certain width's have certain lips? Like do all 8" wide rims have 1" Lips ?

[WABIT]

basically, their are ways to measure them, firstly everything is calculated in inches, secondly, every barrel, center and lip has a specific measurement that could actually solve the whole wheel specs.

a way to measure the lip size is by having a flat beam across your rims (without tyres mounted) then measuring the lip from the mounting face bolted to the center.... to the bottom edge of the beam, then simply minus 1/2" from the beam and you have you lip size

it shouldnt matter if you want to go bigger, what is the purpose of widening these wheels? also do you want to keep the look "legal" or give the car abit more show

also what are the wheels going on?
i can work out whats the best lip, tyre size and offset for your car
