Neil L. 0 Posted March 21, 2005 On the verge of buying my BBS RC's for my Blackberry VR6, - would just like to know if any of u used spacers so as to fill out the arches as the wheels r only 7.5 wide(17' rims). I've seen some pics of the wheels fitted to C's and they look a little lost (too far in) under the arch. Would fitting them with 215 (instead of 205) rubber help matters without running into clearance issues? :? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted March 21, 2005 ahhh where are you getting these from.. i want some too Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted March 21, 2005 nice.. getting on the phone tomorrow.. Et35 will fit fine i'm told(g60renshaw), bt if your planning a big brake conversation he ran 5mm spacers so et30... not sure how this would affect to arches at the back if you decided to go with et front and rear I'm going to gamble and go et35 then run small spacers on the front.

Shilakadaddy 0 Posted March 22, 2005 I've got 5mm spacers on mine, and think they should be spaced out more... mainly at the back. Considering making some 15mm or 20mm spacers for them instead. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neil L. 0 Posted March 22, 2005 Thats the impression i got Shilaka - the need for them tobe spaced out a little (esp. at back). What tyres would u fit them with ,205 or 215's? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flusted 0 Posted March 22, 2005 Not sure if these are the wheels i have,but i had 2 grind some metal off my front calipers (g60) and the back tyres hit my coilovers! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bally 0 Posted March 22, 2005 Im running them on myn & have no probs with them at all.. no spacers either, to be honest I wouldnt have major clearance problems if i was to run spacers as its as low as it will go!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
