BBS WHEELS FOR GT3

[imom]

Any one got BBS race wheels on their MK1 GT3 with the MK2 front brake conversion can you let me know what width and offset to order.

BBS have suggested the following..

Front 9.0x18 offset 41
Rear 11.0x18 offset 65

Just not sure if this correct.

Parr Motorsport offer BBS Lemans wheels for the MK1 and MK2. They look fantastic. I have them fitted to my car, they are a good wheel

Cheers Steve what size are they? really want the three piece split rims.

[steve rance]

They are 3 piece but i'm not sure of offsets. I will send you a private mail with Parrs number and you can talk to them direct.

BBS Le Mans or LM are a two piece wheel. The wheel IMOM is referring to is the BBS Motorsport 3 piece wheel which can be supplied with either magnesium or aluminium spider.

I have been advised (obvious when you think about it) the offsets have no effect on the brake clearance. Depending on the shape of the inside of the wheel. I may have to use the standard 3mm or go to 5mm spacers to get the face of the caliper to clear the inner face of the wheels.

BBS I guess have offered their Cup series wheels which fit the 996RSR which obviously have the flaired arch add-ons (like on yours).

The wheels offered (give or take a mm) are in the same inner position but are wider by nearly an inch, which will foul the outside of the standard arches/liners.

So we need to stick to standard 8J ET52 at the front. Not even sure if they do that size but will have to see.
(The rears do not appear to be an issue as there is more clearance and the brakes are unchanged. The tyres will fit either 10's or 11's and the offset is ok).

Will bell you Monday
