These are 18x12 18x9 with 315/30 and 245/35 Michelin PS2. I wanted to track the car with a street tire first (which I just did at VIR over the weekend, it was great!), and they don't make a 315/30/18 in PSS.

Do you mind sharing where you sourced them from? I'm keen to go E88 in 18inch for my 996 GT3.

I just ordered a set of E88 in OEM sizes and offsets from Gert at Carnewal. There is a BBS mono block in 18 but the rear offset is 8mm too much, otherwise they would have been perfect, check BBS japan site for RI-A.

I definitely want E88, the cleaner monoblock look is too fresh looking for the 996 GT3 IMO anyhow. Any ideas what the E88 in OEM sizes weigh?

Info gathered from here and other sites, none of it confirmed:

BBS RI-A 18x8.5 = 8.4Kg
BBS RI-A 18x11 = 9.1Kg

BBS E05 18x8.5 = 9.35Kg
BBS E05 18x11 = 9.85Kg

BBS LM 18x8.5 = 21.6lbs or 9.8Kg
BBS LM 18x11 = 26.9lbs or 12.2Kg

BBS GT3 OEM 18x8.5 = 12.25Kg
BBS GT3 OEM 18x11 = 13.6Kg

I can't find actualls for E88 so going by E05 as closest weight.

2x BBS Motorsport boxes from Carnewal turned up and weights measured, analogue only as that's all I had to hand. These are so much lighter than stock, very happy.

BBS E88 18x8.5 = 20lbs : 9.1Kg
BBS E88 18x11 = 21.5lbs : 9.8Kg

Jamie,
The link doesn't mention specific sizes or offset, only applications which isn't all that helpful. Are these available in 18x10x13? 9.5s, 12.5s? If so, what offsets? Can you post all the 18" widths and offsets available in the monoblocks? Thx.

Looking at your coilover in the background in your picture above, it looks like your rear spring is at coil bind even with the suspension at full droop. With suspension loaded, how much shock compression do you have left before the rear spring is fully compressed?
