      BBS won't give you lips. You'll have to go aftermarket.

        Those staggered 18's will definitely fetch a good amount whenever you decide to part however.

        Actually better news! claus said it is possible to convert but need to make unique lips&barrels and those parts for the set of wheels will cost more than actual new set of these wheels from bmw it self .. i don't know why its so funny but all ready those lips cost 200€ / piece and you need 8 of em so.. would love to make unique set, but still considering what to do..

          And also since no one in finland does that.. its BIG problem meaby i need to contact BBS and ask for wider lips
          Assuming you have 18X9ET24/18X8ET20 adding 1" of lip would make it 18X10ET12ish and 18X9ET8ish. As for not being able to get the lips widened easily near you, if you want wider wheels looks like you'll have to ditch the Style 5's.

          BBS won't have anything wider for the Style 5's because there was never anything wider than an 18X9 so you're kinda out of luck...

            If im right if you add 1" on outer lip.. it will take whole 25mm of the offset, not sure of this..
            but yea meaby i need to start looking for BBS GT:s cause those are 3piece and somewhat more easily widen..

                        you should just put the rears up front, and buy entirely new barrels for the 8" from somewhere aftermarket. Then you will only be buting a pair of barrels, thus saving you money.

                          My Styling 5's are 8 and 9" wide.. and you can't get wider than 9" to Styling5..(2 piece wheel..) so no strech on that 265 rear wheel.. so going for 10 and 11" wide
