W123 on BBS RF's

[Anvarv]

Please forgot those smoked lights. Original will be better.
Just my opinion. Nice car.

I like it a lot, I just wish it were physically lower, like if the wheels were an inch smaller but it had the same fitment I'd love it.

Thanks alot guys the wheels were originally all 17x 8.5 et 13 and the fronts still are. The rears went from a 2 inch lip to 3.5 to make them 10s so i guess the rear offset is somthing like -6. for springs I'm running h&r springs and I ended up cutting a coil off the front. I took all nubs out. I might cut a bit more, but I LOVE the way it rides.

If the you changed the wheels from 17x8.5 et13 with a 2.0" lip, into a 17x10 with a 3.5" lip, you ended up to the following :

ET13 with 2.0" - with 3.5" lip, means you changed the offset of 1.5" more toward the outside. 1.0" is 25.4mm x 1.5" = 38.1mm

So your setup in total is : 17x8.5 et13 with 2.0" lip | 17x10 et -25

I never ever thought that would fit though, but I'm guessing you just rolled the fenders, correct ?

Amazing looking ride though & MY BIGGEST RESPECT !!!

Finally

These 17" were amazing but the more retro looking 16" you have at the moment will be way better. 11" in the back...

I LOVE this car

Have a similar one (W123 230E) and spring setup (cut H&R) with 16", only 8" width round though:
