So, things are getting serious, and i'm in need of some wide tire action in my 940 (and soon to be V8 780)

The 940's fenders are rolled as much as possible without getting the sledge hammer out.

so, here's what i've got:
-a set of BBS 16x7.5 ET18 (5x108)
-a set of hubcentric spacers, 25mm front 32mm rear
-a set of hubcentric 5x114.3 adapter spacers, 25/32mm with a 65.1mm center bore

I figure my options are:
-put something wide on the BBS rims. thinking i'd get about 225-245 with a 45 or 50 sidewall.
-Get something wide in 5x114.3, Unfortunately i haven't had much luck finding rims 16" or 17" at least 8.5" wide that's under $1000
-Get some diamond racing steels.

Does anyone have any recommendations or can point out something I haven't thought about?

mustang cobra! can usually have the 17" alloys for dirt cheap, with spacers will probably fit, and are i think 9"?

lol!
To be honest, i look at your amazon with cobra rims and i'm really not a fan...
maybe it's the chrome

Pics or ban.

You should sell me the BBS rims to reduce your number of choices and simplify the decision process. Then I could get some 225/50-16's that are too wide for my Hydra's.

Here 'tis. Not loving the chrome. although...i do like me some white plasti-dip.

I have this weird white plasti-dip fetish at the moment... I've gone and done it twice now.






Jim, one of my bbs rimps lip is bent and the rubber is bad. I've been dragging my feet to take it in to get fixed (i don't like other people touching my stuff).

hmmm, I like the rims, the chrome not so much. I find chrome only works in very few applications.

Ahem, not to sure about the white Plastidip although at least you can peel it off.

Tell me your muffler isn't held up with a coat hanger...

hehe, funny story. that muffler has been trying to escape for years.
This was the last straw, i took the car home and sliced the exhaust off in favor of a 3" side exit

be sure to plastidip the exhaust tip, it's uber cool so I am told.

nonono, the exhaust gets a slick BBQ black (hotness)

I'll bring the marshmallows...

welp, i ended up getting some chevy snowflake rimps for a good price. 16x8s

If my calcs are correct i might be able to fit a 245 or 255 on the rears with the way the offsets are sitting. I'll see what comes up.




Jim if you want those BBS, i might be able to hook you up

Here's a shot of them on the 7:

ack

But are they squirters???

PM on it's way...
