This is probably the worst post I have ever had to do…The BBS wheels I recently had reconditioned by the factory in GA are back (16x8-16x9). Unfortunately they no longer fit my car!!! I had the wheels on the car prior to doing a big brake upgrade and had not had them on since…they don’t clear the calipers!!! I NEVER even thought about the caliper clearance!!
I am forced with two scenarios:

1) Send them back to BBS to be reworked with a higher numerical offset and run spacers. And spend more money!
2) Sell them to an E3/E9/E23/E28 board member who is running stock brakes.


I really wanted to have these on my car. They are beautiful wheels and are in PERFECT condition. I have spent $$$ having them reworked by BBS. I will entertain offers from board members and am going to put them, in the Roundel. As a last resort they might show up on eBay in a couple of months…

Here is the link to my online album, if you have any questions please feel free to email me offline

Thank-you
