My BBS rims are 17" but tbh you aint gonna find another set of these in four stud easily. Image rims and BBS 16" splitties ocasionaly come up on ebay and on here but you have to be very quick off the mark to snap them up. Or buy them new off images web site??? My off set is et15 which fills out my arches very well.

My 16" BBS, not sure of the offset, but its no where near as low as 15! Probably 30, I run 225 on the rear with no rubbing but i have a bit of rubbing on the front with 205 tyres.

yeah you should be fine with those sizes as long as you get the right off set. Im running 9j on the rear and 8.5 on the front with the et15. Ive heard that image and compomotive have some caliper clearance problems if using large brakes (mine are reverse bolted so ive HUGE caliper clearance ) so bear this in mind before you buy.

So far, nothing. The actual arches are clearing, just. But ive yet to fit the body kit plastic arches....may need trimming but I can always play around with ride height as well. Front tyres are 215/40-17 so should be fine but rears are 235/40-17 so may have trouble with the rear spats.

Click the link and scan thru the pics and you'll see my wheels as they sit now before arches are on...

NO its not a genuine RS500 engine!



Heisann!!
det er ikkje orginal rs500 motor osv..

Det er ein vanlig tredørs
men han har pussa opp å lakkert all plast, motor rummet og under bilen! Han har mattet ned heile bilen med 2000 papir å polert den opp!! den er som ett speil!!!!!

Det er ein ex bakkeløps motor! sjøl laga innsug, større bunnpanne, gjemte ledninger
i motor rummet.. alt er tatt!! den er heilt nyyydelig!!!!

eg håper å få han med på ford treffet til sommeren!
