Hello and question

[Chuiso]

Hello, my name is Luis and i write you from Spain. Sorry but I can not understand very well the german and for this reason I write in english.

I have a M Roadster s54 and I want to get a 18" BBS wheels, modell RXII or Le Mans.

I prefer the Le Mans modell but I have several questions in reference to this wheels:

1. The fist cuestion is: I dont know if 18" or 19". In first moment I think the 19" are a little bit big for this car....but I am not sure. What is you opinion?
2. If I buy 18" what is better in the rear, 10x18 or 11x18?
3. If I put 10x18, what is better 265/35/18 or 285/30/18?
4. After to speak with BBS dealer, The most important question is: I have to do some modification in the front????? I would put them with bistein sprint and HR (-30mm) springs

Note: Is important to say, I dont want the wheels out of the wheelarch, I want them in the eye of the arch!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please I hope your replay asap because I have to choose the wheels this week.

hi chuiso

in my opinion 18 inch is the better choice. so i mysilf bought the bbs le mans in 18 inch.

at the front 8.5x18 et 30 with 225/35 or 225/40 tyre is ok.close but it works. at the back i would choose an 11x18 with the 285 for the m.

if you got to do some modification in the front, then you gut to cut out the plastic under the hood.

sorry for my bad english, i hope you can understand it.

Hi Chuiso,
I have the 19" AC Schnitzer Type IV wheels but on one of my other cars I have mounted the 19" BBS Le Mans wheels. I would buy the 19" BBS Le Mans in the following dimensions:
Front 9,5 and rear 10. The tyre size would be 235/35 in the front and 265/35 in the back, in my opinion the best combination and easiest to mount for 19" but of course you can buy the tyres with a width of up to 315, one of the member of this forum has exactly mounted these tyres in the rear. With the help of spacer washers the rims will fit perfectly in the eye of the arch. I also bought a complete new chassis with the new wheels and rims, in order to have a suitable package and combination!

Cheers

Max
