I just purchased some older style BBS RA mesh wheels. I had an idea but wasn't sure if they'd fit perfectly...they don't.

So, can anyone tell me what the diameter is on a stock 92 civic hub so I can order some rings?

EDIT: got it.

still need to know diameter of bore on wheels though, so if anyone knows, please post. (can't find it on the wheel)

Just measure it with a ruler or tape measure. It's the diameter of the big hole in the center of the wheel, and it's probably a whole number (in millimeters), no fraction or decimal point.

 

but the thing is...i can't be wrong, or else the rings won't fit. i'll see about getting a micrometer.

i woud like it to be precise.

 

56.10 is you hub bore

thanks, i already have that though.

i am just wondering if anyone has the bore of a BBS RA wheel. i can't find the goddamn stamp.

 

just go to a wheel shop and start trying stuff on..i think if they came oem on a vdub then get like 57.1??.....if they are aftermarket then i am guessin 60mm cuz most aftermarket rims have either 73 or 60mm bores.

 

most aftermarket wheels have a hubbore of 73mm or 72.6mm i call bbs tommorow and i can find out

 

what is the part number on back of wheel part should be between lug holes or BY THE VALVE STEM HOLE OR ACROSS FROM THE LIP and should be TWO NUMBERS AND THREE LETTERS......NEED PART NUMBER TO GET THE CORRECT HUB RING

wow, you rock. ill get those tonight after work. i believe these wheels came off bmw 2002's.

another problem i ran into....the offset is 25. i would not have purchased them had i known that, but the only ra's i have seen in this size have a 35mm offset. doable, considering stock honda's have anywhere from 42-45.

is there anyway to "shave" some of the hub off to get a higher offset? will machine shops do this?

 

wheel specialist in cali deals with bbs and other wheel vendors i will have to call them to find out tommorow when you give me a pm back

 

pmed ya. no letters though.

anyone know if the wheels can be machined for a different offset?

 

got your pm will check out tommorow......i would buy a bolt on spacer to make it work then shaving

thanks for checking it out. seriously. that is very cool of you...

well, i need the wheels not to stick out so far, so a spacer would make it stick out even farther...which would be worse.

 

got a hold of them and they could not figure it out with the numbers you had supplied theu said it could only be either a 74.1 or a 72.56 hub bore...they said if you use a mm ruler you could tell which one you needed...they also said they could only shave off 5mm the wheel....which is not enough...sorry

 

wow. thank you so much for all the info. you have helped me more than anyone on ht ever has

ill see what i can do...

 

just trying to help out, but thanks
