BBS alloys will fit?

Post by José_Manuel » 13 Feb 2013 02:17 pm

Do you know if these BBS alloys will fit my 1989 360 GLE?

I'm quite sure they will, but I prefer asking first and not getting a nasty surprise.

They will fit, watch out for them against the strut but it should be fine with 6j

Thanks, mate!

I had seen another 360s with BBS alloys in the fourm, but I needed to be completely sure. These alloys were fitted in a VW Golf.

My wheels now are 175/70R13", so to keep everything legal in Spain i'll buy 195/50R15 or 185/55R15 rubbers. According to what I've read It should be fine, specially with the 185 tyres.

They will be fine, the offset is quite high and they're not that wide :) Even 15x7 ET 25 is ok. If you have to replace the tyres go for 195/50/15, the 185/55/15 size is way more expensive
