BBS RS 16 x 8.5 & 9.5 fitment questions
Recently had the opportunity to pick up a staggered set of 16" BBS RS' for a price I couldn't pass up. Specs are as follows:
F: 16 x 8.5, ET 56
R: 16 x 9.5, ET 59
I was thinking about fitting these to a early offset 944. Obviously they would need spacers so I'd love to hear feedback regarding size (since the difference in offset is 33mm or for the front and 36 or the rear). That being said does anyone have any tire size recommendations with that setup? Since it's getting a slow "outlaw" style build I may pick up some racing rains to mount on these.
Thanks in advance

Spacers...those sound about right, but each chassis is different. As the wheels/spacers from one early offset car do not necessarily fit all early offset cars without interference issues, you may have to make several attempts to arrive at a proper fitment/desired aesthetic.
Tires...if you can find them, 225/50 and 245/45.
