Help with rebuilding RS001.

[Zic]

Okey here goes. I have searched and i came up short, so i figured i try asking here.

I am about to buy a set of BBS RS001.
They are 7j x 15'' and ET of 25.

Now, thats way of my sizes that i want, so the question is. Can i build a set of 9j x 16'' and 10j x 16'' with ET as close to 10. With some step lips or slant lips, going from 15'' to 16''.

Hope you can help, since i have never build a 3piece wheel. And really having a hard time whit the lip/barrel change.

Hm with that, i look at 7'' width and et 25. i see the backspace is 5''. That means that the lip + center is 2'' right? and the center is .5'' so that means the lip is 1.5''

Front wheels.
Now if i get a 5.5'' barrel, center is .5'' that will give me a 3'' lip. et12

Back wheels.
So for the back ill get a 6'' barrel, center is .5'' and a lip of 3.5'' et12
Or go with a 5'' barrel, center is .5'' and a lip of 3.5'' et0

With a square setup, tho different ET's and lips, it would be easy to get even stretch. if i would go 215/40 all around. on 9''
Or with a 10'' rear and a 225/40, tho get a little bit uneven stretch.


Pleas can someone conform my "research+sizes" if i ever can achieve that.
And if the slant lip from 15'' to 16'' are someone, and not something that i just dream about.

the simple answer is no. the more detailed answer is with the offset starting out at 25, with 1" factory lips, you're at et 12 with a 2" lip which only makes them 8" wide. making them 9s (3" lip) would get you at et 0 and 10s would be et -12.

also, you're going to spend a lot of money to make the 15s into 16s. 16" 30 hole lips are the most expensive lips mkae for RSs and i've ionly seen them in 2" at about $280 per lip, barrels would be even more. your best bet, and most cost effective, would be to sell the 15s and start over with a set of 34 hole 16s in a higher offset if you want 9s and 10s at anywhere near et 10.

That pretty much sums it up, good that i did not buy the wheels.
Seems i'm on the hunt again.

Thank you sir, for clearing it up for me.

no problem, i've re-finished multiple sets of RSs for myself and other people in orlando so i'm pretty good at knowing how these things work by now haha feel free to message me if you have any questions

[Zic]

Will do.
Tho a second question for you, i have found some 003 16''x7''

Now with the wisdom words from you, i cant build some 9/10j with out ending at the wrong offset.
So, if i make a 9j for the rear and ending at et0 with a 3'' lip, so that will correspond to a 10j at et12.
And for the front make an 8.5j et 6 with a 2.5'' lip, and that will be the same as a 9j et12.
Tho -.5'' lip in both cases comparing the 8.5j/9j to the 9j/10j But the same poke all around.

Is this true, or am i still just shooting in the dark?

[Madface]

that is correct, would sit the same as my car does and i personally think it sits with just the right amount of poke
