The BBS RC 090/BMW Style 5 wheels thread

[dieseldubber]

my questions to you guys who retain the style 5 centercap... where the hell do u get the BBS center cap/emblem from??

I've searched everywhere and can't ever never find the correct size

70mm style b and you have to cut off the tabs and glue it in place because there are none made specifically for these wheels
You can get them at purems.com or blackforestindustries.com

I've made a BBS RC or Style 5 configurator for E30 M3, cause I finally got a second set of BBS as the one I'm using now and I'm not sure of how to paint them, i have made it usign photoshop so you will need photoshop to use it, hope that you like it:

Joining BBS RC fanclub sorry for low quality, later will be better! Setup: 205/40 front and rear, BBS RC 090 8j ET20, FK AK coilovers, rear maxed out, front still can go way lower, too bad i cant do it because roads here are just terrible, NO spacers, very happy with the setup

I just got my style 5's and I bolted them up quickly for a test fit and they don't clear my brakes!

I have a 2001 330ci and the bolts on the inside of the rim seem to be rubbing against the caliper when I spin the wheel.

My plan is to grind/sand down the caliper slightly and then stick a 5mm spacer in addition to the hub centric ring.

Anyone else experience this issue?

Had the same issue and had to grind the caliper after installing new pads. all fine now

Yah I have a feeling that when I refinish them, the bolts might even stick out more.

Hopefully grinding + 5mm will clear it.

What do you guys think?

OPTION 1
72.5 to 74.1 hub centric ring
Then a 5mm @ 74.1 spacer on top?

or

OPTION 2
5mm @ 72.5 spacer
Then 72.5 to 74.1 hub centric ring on top?

option 2 so you can reuse the spacer on a next set of wheels that may not be 74.1.
