E88 NB to WB barrel change
What's entailed?
Fronts stay as they are?
Rears, both inner and outers change?
What is WB offsets?
Thanks

^ That's not going to ever happen. I would drive my car on tireless steel sucked in wheels before I did that.

Just a personal retail experience that may not reflect the service you may receive from him.

Assuming you keep the same centers, if you swap out inner and outer barrels by 1/2" keeping overall wheel width the same, you will change offset by 12.7mm. If you go a full 1" on both, offset will change wheel ET 25.4mm. WB offset on a 12" wheel is ET45 or so. If you end up needing new centers, BBS is backlogged till July on current orders.

Spoke with Eric and he said only the centers are holding them up. Barrels are available. Backorder of the centers are at least 6 months out. They are trickling in but you have to get on the list now.

E88 Narrow Body fitment is as follows:
Front
E88 274 center
19x9 +50
1" lip
8" barrel
Rear
E88 108 center
19x12 +62.5
2.5" lip
9.5" barrel
*Remove factory spacer
To convert rear to Wide Body fitment:
Rear
E88 108 center
19x12 +50
3" lip
9" barrel
*Add factory spacer to lower offset to +45
OR use E88 107 center for the following:
Rear
E88 107 center
19x12 +42
3.5" lip
8.5" barrel
*I am not positive but I believe these 107 specs are achieved without factory spacer...confirm with BBS. If you are converting from a NB set, you are most likely running a 108.
