brockie123 31 Report post Posted November 18, 2013 I have a set of BBS RS wheels on my e30, they are the standard 1inch lip, i'm looking to widen these to become 9inch on the rear and 8-8.5 on the front. so i will need 3inch and 2.5inch lips. just wondering if anyone has gone through this before. I have done a lot of research and want to be sure i am paying the least amount for them. The wheels are 16s with 30 bolts to split them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brockie123 31 Report post Posted November 21, 2013 little bit more info. The wheels are the BBS RS003 16s and from what i can gather it is very hard to come across a set of lips for these. anyone have these wheels and has widened them? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hope you have very very very deep pockets. I got lips, bolts and 1/4 hex nuts through Tristan (VeeDub) when he did a bulk order way back when, Genuine BBS badges and stems from Felgen Garage, split and sand blasted them myself and had them put back together at Elite Wheels. Finally, proper rubber for this to achieve a nice stretched look isn't cheap either... To give you an idea project owes me around $4.5K to date. And yes, RS003's are extremely rare! Well done on sourcing a set If you have any luck sourcing a good supplier I could be keen to chip in on shipping as I could use some spare parts too!

RS016s, if memory serves correctly. I'm not sure i it was this company or another that I used for a spare lip (kerbed, split and so on) and gaskets but I also bought a set titanium bolts when I split the rims for refurbishing. No more rusting or corrosion problems. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
