BBS CH 15 and CH 18 for E86 Coupe

Post by BTZ461 » Fri Jun 28, 2019 7:02 am

Will these fit?

BBS CH 15 18x8.5 ET 35 Front
BBS CH 18 18x10 ET 40 Rear

Can I retain the BMW centre cap?

Any advice gratefully received,

Thanks
Bill

Yes technically they will fit , the rear face will sit like style 224 does on non M models , the front 8.5j et 35 you will need to choose tyre size + brand carefully to avoid possible arch rub on full lock / full compression especially if the car is lowered .

Thank you mr wilks. Have a set of ACS type 3 RS and a set of BBs RG-R, both in 18's that fit too, but the styling is a generation behind-late ninties / early 2000's. More suited given the offsets to the M Coupe or E46 M3.
Just acquired this car putting it on a hoist tomorrow to sort out the wandering I experienced driving it home, and may well end up considering 17 inch Apex or BBS CH styles. (Not sure if the CH style is available in 17)
