: : : CAN ANY ONE TELL ME THE WHEEL SIZE OF A 325ix. ARE THEY 5 lug nuts or 4. would they fit a 2002? Any help would be appreciated
: : :
: : : jc
: : I know that the 91 GTI Golf had 15 inch BBS
: that would fit a 2002. Do you know the offset of those and were can I find them?
: That's probably the 2.0 Liter 16v Golf GTi,
: so those wheels would be the 2-piece 15x6.5" but
: i don't know the offset. I do know that the
: offset for the one-piece 15x6.5" BBS Corrado G60
: wheel is 33mm and it has a 5-1/16th" backspace
: and would fit an E30 perfectly, and probably an
: '02 as well. There was a third VW BBS wheel -
: a one-piece 15x6 that came on the 90-92 Jetta
: 2.0L 16v Jetta GLi. But the GTi version were
: two-piece with the small bolts around the rim.
: The Corrado and Jetta BBS had no bolts of course.
: FWIW, i've run my 89 325is on a few of my various
: 14x6 VW wheels with offset ranges of ET33 to ET38.
: The earlier VW 14x6 offsets (ET38 83-92) are
: close to the E30 requirements , but 93 and newer
: VWs used a considerably deeper 45mm offset.
: The VW BBS wheels are soft and bend easily, but
: are still in demand among VW enthusiasts. They're
: hard to find in the VW circles.

Thanks Randy. You answered all my questions. Currently I have the 325is 14x6.5 on my tii but the car is in storage for the winter, so I can't check the offset on them. They fit just fine, but now I want 15 in. I know the two piece BBS for the GTI are very hard to find and can't get them new. Since you own a VW, do you know if the one piece BBS are available new?
