Bbs Rc

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone have 18" BBS RC wheels in their TL. I saw 18" BBS RC wheels at wheelsboutique.com but was told by employee at BBS that they never made 18" RC wheels for the TL. Who should I believe? My TL is a silver 1999 model with Navi. The BBS rep told me the biggest wheel they have for the TL is 17". Please post some pics if you have a TL with the wheel. Thanks!!!

Nope, they won't work.

Check out THIS link.

The only size that even comes in the right bolt pattern (5/114.3) is 17x8" with a 42 offset which will never fit.

BBS are typically for German cars (read rear-wheel-drive) so the offsets tend to be very low.

The 18 X 7.5 +50MM RG-R and RS-GT from Japan will work. But be pricey for BBS from Japan.

Got them from this site, back when Tim sold wheels and tires.

They are 18x8 +50 offset

I paid:
$2500 for the wheels
$ 850 for the tires (Dunlop SP9090s) OEM tires on the Porsche 911 Turbo

I love them. They fit great. Although any three-piece wheel will offer the correct offset.

Same, Tire Rack sent me these instead of the 9000s. They look like they have the same tread pattern.
