Default BBS Wheel HELP needed

Good morning, Gentlemen,

Is there someone on the C4 Forum who is truly familiar with the fitment of BBS wheels - either the RS-Style, or the BBS Motorsports 20-bolt?

Specifically, we need 16" x 10" or 16" x 11" that clear the Grand Sport J55 (13") rotors and calipers. Advice with backspace, "offset" of the centers, and inside diameter of the "inner" rim would be greatly appreciated.
-OR-
Just tell us what fits and what does not!

Thanks,
Ed LoPresti

I have been running these 16" x 10" BBS wheels on my C4 for years now without any problems. I am, however, not sure about the clearance for your J55 big brake options.

Default Beautiful wheels!

Hello, Peter,

Thank you for the reassurance on the fit of the RS-style BBS wheels. The real question is whether they will clear these 13" rotors and calipers.

Incidentally, those wheels of yours are REAL BEAUTIES!

Ed
