Title: Alloys
Post by: Rhyso on 03 June 2005, 20:49
Hey guys

Mate of mine is offering me a set of 14' BBS alloys off his knackered BMW. Have test fitted them no probs but what Im wondering is if

a) the offset is 30; is that ok?? will i encounter problems??
b) the tyres on them are 195/65 but the ones on my steelies are 185/60 - will this cause problems to handling, suspension wear, speedo readings etc??
c) can i fit the tyres off my steelies onto the alloys?? Im thinking not given the width but just wanted to make sure

Oh yeah - its a 1991 1.6 Driver on standard supsension!!

Cheers!
Rhys

thirty should be fine bro, will fill the arches a little better, i have 35mm off set but i have fitted 5mm spacers to make it 30. I think you can fit the tyres too they should stretch ok as i have seen 165 fitted to 7 inch wide rims! they look mega low profile, not sure what the m.o.t people would say?  :undecided:
