The wheels in question are the 16"x8/9" staggered rims, BBS Style...Cheap Chinese copies??

Thoughts, please

Your link does not appeaer to be working. But i have had a look. Probably copies but look ok. Its a case of pay your money take your chances. Would they fit the pcd?

Linky no worky....for me at least???

[adam quantrill]

They appear to be randomly 8J or 9J with a random pcd and no way of selecting it in the order.

If you were careful and did some ebay enquiries first to thrash out the details AND meet the delivery driver and check the dimensions on delivery (or send them straight back) then it seems reasonable at 90 a corner.

try this url linky

lots o wheels on PH classifieds, particularly cerbera and chimeara.

Link didn't work for me, either!! Yes, Random sizes 8"x16" 5x112...9"x16" 5x100!! Strange??

I was thinking if you had a particular hill to climb with mainly left hand bends you could put the 8J's on one side and the 9J's on the other??? ;^)

Wouldn't that be a bit manic?

I contacted the Vendors about the staggered rims...They e-mailed me back that they are both 5x112 front(8x16") and rear(9x16")
What size tyres would fit under the back of a 390SE??

[adam quantrill]

I run 245/45/16 on the back, but try and work out if you need the extra grip, as the wider you go, the more rolling resistance, so less mpg and slower top end.

Hi Adam...are you running 9" rims on the back?
Is this on your supercharged beast??

[adam quantrill]

Yes I have 9J 16" OZ split rims (the holy grail) on the back (both sides ;^) and the original 15" on the front.
