PGT Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 they don't fit. try looking at http://www.tirerack.com for BBS wheels that do fit your car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XxLT1xX Posted May 30, 2006 Author Share Posted May 30, 2006 bummer... but thnks! I checked out tirerack and found very similar ones and tires! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highlander Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 BBS RE's look almost exactly like those. They do fit, and are JDM on the S204 (i think). Also, Road & Track used them on their show tour LGT along with sways and springs from progressive. Nice looking package with big improvements in slalom course and 0-60 (better tires).

bigbutt Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Here's a picture of my car with the 18" REs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsalicru Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 you know what sucks?! There are indeed some BBS CH that are made in the right offset... just not the right bolt pattern. 06 GTi has a BBS CH fitment. The offset HAS to be in the mid-to-upper 40s since that's what the new GTi's take.. however, the bolt pattern is 5 x 112 (its only sad cause I can't slap em on the LGT, however, I can on my GTi ) "some say, his arms are made of coiled adamantium fibers. And that he tops his cereal with nuts and bolts. All we know is, he's called the Jose." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGT Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 they aren't forged though. I do like the new CK as well. *sigh* only BMW fitments....5x120. http://www.racimex-japan.co.jp/BBS-CK-silber.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsalicru Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 actually, those are also available in the right offset.. again, just the wrong bolt pattern. 5 x 112 for new GTi... again. They come in a dark grey now too. "some say, his arms are made of coiled adamantium fibers. And that he tops his cereal with nuts and bolts. All we know is, he's called the Jose."

PGT Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 think we could redrill them 5x100? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsalicru Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 think we could redrill them 5x100? It would be nice. I don't really like the new CK very much but I'd love to roll on some CH. They look HUGE. 18s look like 19s, 19s look like 20s. "some say, his arms are made of coiled adamantium fibers. And that he tops his cereal with nuts and bolts. All we know is, he's called the Jose."

Boostjunkie Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Did someone say BBS? I'm partial to the RGR's for obvious reasons! http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y207/Pisadong/RBSLippage014.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zildjiank Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 nice, but narrow!! +1 Narrow is right, partly why I didn't buy them...but so SEXY!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostjunkie Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 Hey Boostjunkie your Legacy looks bad a$$ man! Dats da kinda look im going for. Sleek, clean, crisp and frackin elegant... Dude those tires are lookin mighty juicy too! Makes me wanna bite one! Do u have it lowered?? Wut u do to it? Thanks man! My car is lowered. In the pics it in on prototype Tein Flex coilovers, but it currently sits on Megan Racing coilovers. As for being narrow, I don't think it's a problem. For street applications a 225/40/18 is the most common and economical tire size and it fit just as well on a 7.5" wide rim (like mine) as on a 8" wheel.

XxLT1xX Posted June 6, 2006 Author Share Posted June 6, 2006 hey Boost, do u drive ur car on a daily basis? I wanna lower mine but i drive 60 miles everyday during the week.... Doesnt sound like a good idea huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsalicru Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 IMO, it won't be too bad. The Coilovers allow for lowering of the whole unit without loosing travel. So there are really no compromises in ride quality. "some say, his arms are made of coiled adamantium fibers. And that he tops his cereal with nuts and bolts. All we know is, he's called the Jose."

Boostjunkie Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 hey Boost, do u drive ur car on a daily basis? I wanna lower mine but i drive 60 miles everyday during the week.... Doesnt sound like a good idea huh? My car is my daily driver, but my rountrip commute to work is only about 9 miles. However, I do drive quite a bit on the weekends. If you are worried about lowering affecting ride comfort, there is a bit of a tradeoff. If you are primarily concerned about ride comfort then I'd suggest a soft set of springs like Tein H-Techs. I was willing to compromise my ride a little more to gain adjustability and handling, hence the coilovers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
