I got this set of 16" BBS rs wheels that I want to build to put on my EK and want some input. I have one pair 16x8 +24 offset lip is 1.5" the other set is 16x7.5 +14 with 1.5" lip also. Now what I want to run is 2"-2.5" lip in the front and 2.5"-3" in the rear. Now this is my first set of 3 piece wheels and would appreciate any info on what face & barrels I should put in the F&R from those who have messed with these wheels on an EK. And yes I plan on rolling the fenders but not looking for an extreme camber. Thanks

 

I believe from my RS build that the Et will drop 6mm for every half inch you go up in lip size. Now you have 2 6inch and 2 5.5inch barrels, and obviously 2 different sets of faces, but it looks like it's only a 3mm Et difference so that's not to bad.

In order to select the correct barrel placement you need to determine a few things, are you doing any fender work, do you want staggered wheels, do you want flush or a little poke and stretch? Then you can figure which Et will work best and choose lip and barrel size.

Personally I would go with the face from the 16x8 and barrel from the
16x7.5 and 2 inch lip in the front. Should work out to 16x8 Et +13 2inch lip.

Back would then be
16x8 +21
add 2.5 lip now 16x9 Et +9

Kind of agressive, you'll need to roll and pull for sure.

Safe play swap barrels, making the 16x7.5 16x8 Et +21 front

Other one is then 16x7.5 Et +18 2inch lip makes 16x8 +12

 

Nice!! Thanks for the info, I think I'm gonna run 2" F - 2.5" R. Don't want too aggressive camber..... Let's see how this works out boosting ��..
