    BBS RGR and Brembo BBK...

    Does anyone here have BBS RGR's on their car?

    8.5 x 19 with 32mm offset
    10 x 19 with 20mm offset

    I would like to confirm that Brembo 355mm BBK fits on the front with no spacer. The RGR's in the rear with such an aggressive offset will require fender rolling on lowered cars.

    Tried calling Turner, but they have not tried such a setup yet. I believe EvoSport has not either.

    did you try contacting tirerack?
    Let me get this straight... You are swapping out parts designed by hundreds of engineers that get paid thousands of dollars for something you bought at Pep Boys because your buddy who doesn't have a job told you it was 'better'?!?

    Spoke to TR...they are not sure either. They mentioned the wheel is too new so they have not had the chance to test fit against an M3 with Brembo 355mm x 32mm BBK.

    well, they can send me a set of wheels anda brembo 355mm kit and I'll be more than happy to test fit them.

    I'm pretty sure they will accomodate brembos without a spacer. The wheel is wide enough, the offset is low enough, and when I looked at an rg-r, it looked like it had sufficient pad to prevent fouling of the spokes.

    I agree...the 32mm offset in the front should clear. The design is not high-pad like Hamann HM2 in 19" with 38mm offset in front.

    Hopefully, somebody will have practical real world experience to confirm.
