wheel help again; ordering custom bbs e88 from europe need optimal widths/offsets
ok for starters, I am in on the ohlins group by, so a full suspension will be coming to be, provided that ohlins is still going to do this!!
now, i am going to order a full custom set of bbs e88 direct from europe and I get to pick widths/offset and custom colour if desired. my question is what are the optimal widths/offsets that everyone on here would recommend? do I go 18x8.5 front and 18x9.5 rear? or do I go 18x9 front and 18x10 rear? now with offsets; I can honestly pick any.... with 8.5 front do I go et35 or little less, the 9.5 rear et22 seems perfect? now if i go slightly wider do I get less offset or keep it the same? would like to hear everyones thoughts and like I say, these are going to be built to whatever specs I choose, so I can nail down exact offset! **tire size help would also be appreciated! |

either way you can fit just as much tire if that is what you are looking for...apex has good offsets for fitting wide tires. I have ec-7's in 18x9.5 +35 and 18x10 +25....I am pretty low but with a reasonable drop you can fit 275s and 245/255s

thanks for the reply.
I am looking for some more specific help with regards to what offsets to choose? does anyone have any insight? They are totally custom so I can choose what I need. is 18x9 front and 18x10 rear for widths too strong? I know that the volk te37sl; has some pretty ideal sizes at 8.5front et35 and 9.5rear et22 should I just get those specs on the e88? |

imho, and unfortunatly ive been through a few sets of wheels. width of 9 to be safe, 9.5 if you want to run some camber. in the rear, 10 is safe, 10.5 with a little camber, 11 if you just want to say you have 11's. the best fitment wheels i have EVER had on this car are the arc 8s, front was +35, rear was something like +25. ymmv, lots of variables though. best wishes

What is your usage of track versus street?

Guys thanks for all the help so far. I forgot to clarify originally, these are purely for the street, the newer/latest iteration of these wheels are perfectly acceptable for street use and a ton of porsche guys, 993 and on use them on the street.
so they are purely for aesthetic purposes as I just like the look of them... so for beta and intgr8r hopefully you can assist. thanks again gentlemen. |
