Title: Building BBS RS's, Torques?
Post by: Timon on 22 February 2009, 19:10

I'm going to be building some 15 RS's soon (not complicated i know), but i just wanted to see if anybody had some good tips/methods/sealant to avoid any leakages.
Anyway the main reason for this post was to find out the torque setting for all the bolts (as i am quite anal about details like this), anybody know?

Stick it on your rig, whack the speed up to about say.... 3000RPM then straight onto the next bolt. No worries.

Bye? Are you leaving to go and learn how to type properly?

Perhaps "in" jokes passed you by at school? or maybe you are just as special as your typing suggests.

In any regard, i seriously doubt you understand what a rig is to begin with, so how about you shut up and go back into that corner you came from.

Anyway......back to the plot.

Spoke to UK BBS importer and they said BBS wouldnt tell them the torque settings or supply new bolts.

So i tried my chances with BBS themselves in germany and they flatout refused to give me any info at all. Although they did offer to rebuild my wheels if i send them over....for a price :rolleyes:

So far at my best guess the torque will be around 18Nm for 15"RS's. Gonna try and calculate a more accurate figure hopefully
