0288120 1.5" and 7.5" barrels 9x18 et 42 with 245
0288107 2.5" and 9.0" barrels 11.5x18 et 61 with 315
show the above to your dealer, if they dont understand it, then they are not real BBS dealers
running 8.5" BBS upfront would be idiotic, you NEED 9" and on my track 6gt3 i run 9.5 (this will not work on street car). 9" is the limit up front for street cars
rear you can do 11", but i like 11.5
Hello, greetings from Germany. I have to reply to this as I want to ride this setup on my 996 MK2 Targa in 19”.
Is it possible to fit this setup? (9x19 and 11.5x19) The car is not for track use, mounted only for street use.
Bumping an old thread (looks to be the longest on the topic) to prevent from starting a new one.
I’m in the market for the oh so awesome E88s. My 6/3 is street driven, lowered to euro height and has pccbs. Here are the specs I’ve either found or that have been suggest from various sources:
BBS recommendation: 18x9et42 and 18x11et63 (or 18x11.5et61 if I want to push the rear)
Vendor recommendation based on lowered height: 18x8.5et43.5 and 18x11et63.5
Vendor aggressive recommendation: 18x9et42.5 and 18x11.5et61
Mooty spec: 18x9et42 and 18x11.5et61
Am I splitting hairs here? I don’t want to pull fenders or worry about rubbing and prefer to run Michelins
Thanks. I don't have the alignment specs as they are a custom setup from one of the local race shops. The suspension is not stock. I am running revalved Original shocks and Eibach 750/900 springs. Car has more front rake and camber is -2.9/-2.4.

Thought the cambers looked about the same as mine. I’m at -3/-2.5. I had put E88 out of my mind just because of the astronomical cost to get some to Australia (about $8000 AUD for a set, delivered) but your pics have re-lit the flame!
For a no brainer fitment Mooty spec is the way to go with a 18x9/42 and 18x11.5/61 set up. He know his stuff. If you go more conservative, you're just leaving performance on the table. Wider wheel is always better. I even did a 18x9 with 245/35 and 18x12 with a 305/35/18 NT01 on a friend's track 6GT3. That was a sweet set up.
Here are my 18x10 E88 fronts with 275s. Stock 6GT3 front fenders... You can stuff some serious rubber under the fenders of these cars with the right suspension components and precise fitments..

What centers, outers and inners are you using for your 18x10 fronts?
I have a set of E88 about to land, 18x9.0 and 18x11.5 using
- 0288724 front centers (to fit 997.2 GT3 calipers/380 discs) with 1.0 outers and 8.0 inners - et50 - plus 7mm spacer (et43 effectively)
- 0288107 rear centers with 2.5 outers and 9.0 inners, et61.5 (mooty spec)
Considering my alignment/tire spec, I may have gone too conservative. Thinking I could fit 1.5" or even 2.0" outers up front (et43.7 and et37.3 respectively) with the same 724 centers and 8.0" inners. Most likely with 265/35-18 Nankang AR-1. What do you think, powdrhound?

My spec is 18x10 2/8 w/274 center which is good for a 265 or 275 tire. I run the 380 7.2 brakes also which require a 274 center. You can go with a 1.5/8 w/274 which is good for 265 max. 1.5/8 is much easier to fit than 2/8. Personally I would run a 2/8 for optimal performance with a 265 but as I mentioned it's more work to fit it successfully. Rears I run for 18x12.5 3.5/9 w/274 but that's a widebody spec. For full on track set up in the rear of a 6GT3 you could also do a 18x12 2/10 w/274 or 2.5/9.5 w/108 although the 2.5/9 w/107 is a no brainer.

Thanks a lot for those data points. Already revised my front order to 1.5/8.0. Will move up to 2.0/8.0 fronts and a 12" rear down the road for my second set.
Anybody have any knowledge that can help me. I found a set of BBS E88's and they are 0288170 centers. 18x10 front (2.5" outer/7.5" inner), and 18x11.5 (3" outer/8.5" inner). Does anybody have an idea to what these would be in terms of offsets?
