Talking BBS e88

I fitted my BBS E88 track wheels today to see if there were any issues with widths or arch/suspension clearances, etc.

I decided last year that i would change from wheel bolts to wheel studs/nuts for convenience so i fitted these first. It was a straight forward job and involved cleaning the hub threads prior to applying a drop of Loctite 262 high strength threadlocker and torque tightening the studs to 16 ft lbs.

The 10.5 x 18J rears went on without spacers and fitted nicely with a little clearance from the wheel arch and without any issues with suspension.

The 9.5 x 18J fronts had to have 12mm spacers fitted to fit ok and even so the inner edge of the rim is at most 5mm away from my KW Clubsport spring/strut upright... The top outer edge of the tyre looks like it would come into contact with the arch but this is partly down to only having around -2.2 degrees camber set on the fronts vice the -3.2 that i use on track.

I took it for a gentle test drive and am relieved to report that all seemed well although i was careful to not make the suspension compress at any point! I'm not overly keen on the wider front 18's 'blocky' appearance either but the drive felt so different to standard wheels and was almost go-kart like despite the Cups scrabbling for grip in the cold temperatures.

It will be interesting to see what this set-up is like on track! Looking forward to Donny on the 18th

Love them, prefer the gold centres though.

10mm spacer on the front would give you a little more room on the outside?

Looks good!

What offset do they work out to be? I say they will rub at the point where the wing meets the bumper.
