bbs challenge 19's what size spacers are needed ?

Post by trichards » Mon Sep 18, 2006 3:12 am

i am assuming that you need a 15mil spacer with the bbs ch's. 35 offset seems to be their usual. really love the bbs rims just keep hearing about nightmare spacer issues. whats a good brand of spacer ? lots of questions tonight, sorry ! just in a panic to get some new wheels

I mate,

I have a set of BBS CH 19" et50 w/ 15mm spacers on my S4 giving me 35mm offset & they fit perfectly. Does the RS4 have a different offset?

As for spacers... dont get anything cheap. Even mildly cheap. I spent £160 on a set of eibach ones & I am having issues. ONLY get H&R ones. They seem to be the ones that do the job.

19"BBS Challenge ET 35 with 30mm Spacers on front axle and 25mm spacers at the rear.
Works, but it's really the maximum you can get....
