Hey there.
I have searched and all it comes up with is old for sale threads.

I've recently picked up to my delight an e24 M6/M635csi but had those 415 trx wheels and Tyres. I am lucky enough to have a set of BBS-rs but they are for e36 fitment. They are 17x8 et40 with a 1" lip and 17x9et27 with a 2" lip.

I have them on now with 20 and 15mm spacers and they look well a little skinny. I need to use a spacer on the front but the rears bold on and clear suspension without spacer. The plan is to run the 9" out front as is with 20mm spacer making them 17x9et7 which will fit fine but will replace the 1" lips with either 3", 3.5" or 4". The 3" will give me 17x10 et15 which will fit nice but I can probably squeeze more wheel under there.

I have a set of 17x9et6 and 17x10 et16 acs type1 on another car which I can trial fit

If anyone can point me to the place to get lips this would be great

rotiform is a usa supplier, but the lips they deliver are ugly imo.

I was able to get inexpensive replacement lips for a set of RS's through the VWVortex classifieds (wheel/tire classifieds --> other bolt pattern).

Sorry for late reply.

There's a thread in the rides and styling section under m635csi

Sorry I'm in the toilet on the iPhone and can't link it.
