Default BBS SR Wheel Combo on a 928



Looking for a fresher wheel and tire combo for mostly street with some track use. Hopefully more track use.

I happen to have an Audi Q7 as my daily driver that came with these wheel when I got it used.

any thoughts how these would fit? Looks like the have the same hub size. Also they come in 10” wide for the rears. Any idea what tire sizes would be best.

My “car” more of a project currently is an 82 euro 928

any suggestions?

No comment to fitment, but the style looks nice, for sure. $275 is cheap for BBS. Def. lower end of their offerings, but a reputable brand, overall. Good luck

The listed offset will not fit.

Front offset on an 8" wide wheel should be no further out than a 57 or 58, and 65 or so is even better for the suspension geometry.

That et50 is for a 911.

8" Et 50's absolutely fit. I have them on my S4

*** Edit. Actually, I see this is an early car and I'm not sure of wheel fitment on them

Now that you guys mention it, I was looking at the third line where it lists an ET40, and it will not fit.

The ET50 will fit, but won't be optimal as mentioned.

Default Thanks

thanks guys. I guess we’re going to be scrapping that idea. After much reading there’s clearly a million threads on wheels. Any recommendations on getting a 9-9.5” wheel up front and a 10-10.5 inch wheel in the rear that looks “updated” and I can beat on the track?
