Audi BBS or BBS (RS) part?
My brother thinks the 8x16's are et 35.
He had a factory set of Audi BBS shipped from Germany 5 years ago.

et 35 was what I was hoping to hear so that sounds about right!

looking at the clearance of the rear wheels, 17's with a slightly lower tyre profile will be the biggest that will go without work.

wot u doing with the old rimmers?

Coxy · 16-10-09, 12:12 PM

I think those rims will transform your V8, Coxy. Even when new, the 15" Aeros were limpwristed and puny. The BBS 16"s made all the difference. It's like the 200 quattro on The Living Daylights. It was how all the 200s should have been with it's flared arches and 16 BBSs. It is only relatively recently that Audi have started beefing up the looks of their cars with bigger wheels. The wheels on my A6 2.7T Avant are another example. The standard 16" alloys do absolutely nothing for the car, hence my decision to put some Audi S Line 18"s on it.
