BBS rs's 15x8.5 +38

[Saggio]

Test fitting for a day trying to figure out what size and offset I want to go with, these are 15x8.5 +38 offset BBS rs's.

EDIT: We have figured the offset to be +16 with the 2.5" lip installed on these RS's!

Tire size is 195/50/15

I think they look really good. The rears are perfect for me, but the front needs to be maybe a +45ish to suck them in a little with this size wheel.

Yes, lol. I own a Subaru Performance shop. Had to make fun decals. :biggrin:

[Saggio]

love the rear stance , uber good choice. im not a fan of the silver wheels , but they look great plus with that much tire in th back you wil be a rock. do they make them in any other color scheme?

p.s the last pic looks like you have a wide body in the rear :thumbsup:


Yeah, Im thinking of going with gold, or black wheels. Good eye with the last pic! It does look wide! Sick!

[Saggio]

i'd say go with white wheels that would be awesome.

hmmm

[Saggio]

if they make these in white of course

One can paint the centers any color you want. They are a 3-piece wheel. Ubber expensive!

Very good to me, but in black and chrome lips

None. Rides nice too!

[HTM Yaris]

The wheels look good , but they are too wide for the tire . Try a 6-7 inch wide wheel

[Tiddlygoose]

Nope, the stretched look is sic!

[rogue yaris]

Nice, always liked BBS :thumbsup:

[yarisugi]

Wow.. I didn't even think 8.5" would fit like that. It's sticking out but a lot less than I expected.
I love the last photo :) Anyone wanna try to go wider?

OMFG , Pure Sex right there ! I love the tire size , offset is great , all you need to do is powder coat those gold ! I was gonna bagg on you for the subie logo but , if you own a scooby performance shop they have a reason . Whats your suspension set-up ?

[ddongbap]

Rim test? Or plug for the sticker on your window? hahajk.

IMHO, I think a 26 inch would look good.

I have Tein S-Tech 2" springs with a TRD RSB. Im going to have to go with coilovers to get lower.

Do you mean a +26 offset?

Hmm who makes them that fit? I'd do it! Then I would get lower offset wheels too! :biggrin:

[nerd_vitZ]

it looks nice, but the mudflaps would be pretty pointless in the rear since it's WAYY bigger than the flap. haha. but VERY flush in the rear. i think i found the size i want for the rear! haha

i just read in another thread that if you get 2 pairs of front carbon fiber fender flares for the 1gen scion xb then they would fit.

I think garm would know more about this

No need for flares with a +38 offset ya'll trippin'.fender overlay flares aren't needed till the offset gets into the - Imo then mabey like some rivet on cf flares for a 240z would be pretty badass. Powder coat those rims gold and dump it out on some tein basic's .

If I did flares it would be with at least 0 offset wheels. Not these. :biggrin:

[AdeJong 03]

well the car is fwd so you probably would realistically need flares when you get into the 20s or less.

when i had my miata i had to run flares with 0 offset 15x8 sportmax 002s so i think flares would do just fine.

on rear wheel cars, a negative offset will start to require flares. otherwise you can fit em

[Thej3sta2]

Saggio i love those. Where can i get them at?

[kimona]

Love the wheels. But, the stretched tyre is bad news. Find some 7's with proper offset and 205/50's and you'll be looking good.

They are actualy 15x7 with a 2.5 lip making them 8.5

Haha, why FTL? "Safe" offsets and everyone's wheel and tire combos are so boring lately. Time to switch it up. And this isn't even switching it up, people have been doing this for years!

[kou]

not a good picture but i have somthing like that on the project car.

[blacksandiegovitz]

Wow! Amazing slant nose !

[marcus]

question??

15x8.5 offset +38 vs 16x7 offset +40 = which one will stick out more on the fender??

[Thirty-Nine]

15x8.5 +38 without a doubt.

Granted, the offset is only 2mm difference, but the width is 1.5 inches wider.

[marcus]

so width of the rims dont matter its the offset that make it stick out more. so for ex. a 17x8.5 with +40 offset will be the same as 16x7 with +40 offset IN REGARDS TO STICKING OUT OF THE FENDER..is that right..

[AdeJong 03]

Too much positive offset will make you hit your coilovers or chassis, the more negative offset you have will make your wheel stick out. Take note that the width of the rim plays a major roll on your offset. The bigger the rim the less room you have to play with offset sizes.

Conversion: 1 INCH = 25.4mm

example: 17x10 rim is 254mm wide (0 offset for that gives you 127mm sticking out and 127mm going in)



so if you had a 17x8.5 and 16x7 both with +40, the 17 would stick out more. you would need more positive offset to "offset" that lol

[marcus]

well now im more confuse..what the point of gving out an offset..alwqys thought that the distance from the hub to the edge of the rims.

so if you had a 17x8.5 and 16x7 both with +40, the 17 would stick out more. you would need more positive offset to "offset" that lol

[AdeJong 03]

no the offset is the distance from the hub to the center of the wheel

so a 40 offset means that the hub is 40mm out from the center. a 0 offset means that the hub is exactly in the center of the wheel

this also explains why low offset wheels sometimes have that really deep dish

Stock camber, Here is a pic. I have more I can upload tomorrow.

(These wheels are flush with the wheels well if I install the 1" lip. They poke because of the 2.5" lip thats installed.)

I have had about 10 sets of RM's and 20 sets of RS's. All of which had huge dishes and massively stretched tires. The RS's in this thread are hardly stretched by any means and would perform just fine on the street or track. :thumbsup:

you can bolt them on but you wont be able to run wider wheels unless you cut the fenders.

.058" stainless washers under the lower bolts between axle and hub. you'll have to grind them flat one side to clear the pilot hole. RusselTehPirate has them as well as the 10mm hub spacers i had fabbed awhile back
