BBS CH incoming

**ant7701** · 06-15-2008 05:17 PM

oK....so i'm picking up a set of CH's used and I have a few questions.

they are 19x8.5 with a 35mm offset and 5x112 bolt pattern from a merc. they should fit my S4 with NO problems right??? :)

what about future BBK???

and lastly....can I use the OEM wheel bolts or do I have to order a new set???

Same dimensions as my Neuspeeds, so should not need new wheel bolts(although my wheels came with new bolts from Neuspeed, RAD's). With those dimensions, I have 5mm spacers in the rear and sits perfect for me, fyi.

Go see Al at Al's Hupcaps in Mineola. Honestly, he is the best guy around. He stocks just about every size bolt, yes you will need new ones. If you give him a call I'm sure he'll be able to tell you what you'll need and what tires to use for the look and fit you are looking for.

Call BBS and get the bolts and PFS hub rings that you will need to run these wheels.

Whenever your wheel offset changes, either by changing wheels or with a spacer, you should use new bolts to correct the offset change. If you do not, your bolts may be longer or in your case, shorter than needed.

Answer: Do a wheel stud conversion FTW!!

Ball seat on the stock wheels and cone seat on BBS wheels. You will need new bolts!

just do what Chrislane said and get everything from BBs in one shot. It'll be easy and painless.

And I think BBS only charges $40 for everything

They will fit properly (same setup as my own) but you will need new bolts, as stated above. Call BBS and order them.
What size rubber are you running? The guy above who said 5mm spacers is running different tire size than myself, so depending on the rubber you may not be able to do 5 mm

just make sure the center hubs are the same. the bolt pattern and offset should be right.

Where I got my bolts to run my spacers. I'm running the same tires, 245/35/19 Bridgestones, and my rears sit flush with the fender.
