What would you do with a set of BBS RS007?
So, I have a set of BBS RS007 wheels, which came with my M6 when I bought it.
I understand they were recalled because they did not hold air properly. Also, since they are sized for metric - the tires are exceedingly expensive at about $600/tire.
I'm not sure if I should sell the set, or refinish the BBS and bite the bullet and pay $2400 for tires.
Are there services which relip them for standard size tires?

Interesting. I didn't realize the centers were the same size/pattern to fit 16" BBS.

these guys have the lips/barrels. I'm going to see what they say, as far as conversions go.

There was some chap selling 16-18 conversion kits for about $1500usd. You can get any barrels / offsets u want. To make a set from my old metrics is certainly something I'm looking at in the future. It would be nice to have a wheelset that can run with no spacers, fill the guards and maximise the room.
I'm pretty sure I could fit 18x9.5 up front and 18x11 on rear without pulling out the guards. Just will need a slight massage the guard lips.
Does anyone have the original specs of the 007 wheel in 415mm?

415mm Dia
15 Offset
I think I want to keep them as close to original as possible, so I'll go with a 16x8 or 17x9.
Do you have pics of yours on 18s?
Cheers for the offset.darrylg wrote:210mm WGazM3 wrote:There was some chap selling 16-18 conversion kits for about $1500usd. You can get any barrels / offsets u want.

I've got a set of 17x8 bbs rs 302 in 17x8 et40.
They have been modified with wider ext barrels. Front now 17x9 et27 and rear now 17x10 et15. The fronts have a 25mm spacer makeing them effectively et2. The rears have a 20mm spacer making them et+5.
I'll one day make a spacer less set in 18 to bolt straight on.

Just to add, I'm running 17x9 ET9 up front and 17x10.5 ET4 at the back on 235/45/17 and 255/40/17. They do not rub but it is very close. I wouldn't go wider.GazM3 wrote:Cheers for the offset.darrylg wrote:210mm WGazM3 wrote:There was some chap selling 16-18 conversion kits for about $1500usd. You can get any barrels / offsets u want.

After all the time and effort to teardown and rebuild.....you will thank yourself for using NEW Hardware....Make sure you repaint the centers too !!
Once done you will really appreciate them...I have done a few and always use new hardware.
