Folks, does anybody know the best size, offset etc of BBS style alloys for a 3 door Cossie?
I want the rears to be a little wider to fill those arches.
Cheers

If your looking at buying the calibre or lenso split rim replica type wheels they arent ideal fitment wise mate. I looked into it myself as i fancied some on my 3 door, but they need to be ran with big spacers to make them sit right in the arches and clear the brakes. Aparantley they are almost impossible to fit over bigger than standard brakes

I have some Bbs e50 16"x9j with 34/35 mm ofset

I have the calibre wheels on mine.
17", think they are 8J, I have 10mm spacers on front, 20mm on rear.

Not sure if it's much use but I run the lenso's in 15"s and they clear my st170 brakes with 300mm discs on my fezzy. You Dont want spacers buy them in French fitment , mine are off a Saxo so stick out 17-20mm from the ford wheels and it suits it perfectly not to mention handles better than previous ford offset wheels
