how wide are bbs rm with out the dish ???

kam u must know this one

cheers matt

6.5 is the standard size

correct me if I'm wrong but they are all different sized inners depeding on the size of the dish and the overall width, you can make up different combinations i don't think its a set size thing!

hmmmmmm, dunno,

all it says on mine are 6.5 inch, rm0012,

but why is that the standard size?? vpolo are you asking to know a standard overall width including a smaller 1"lip or the width of a wheel without the dish/lip??

thought the standard lips were half an inch, educate me johnny

standardss are .5" iirc

all iam saying is that the 1/2 an inch lip/dish is the smallest not neccersarily standard and this doesn't affect the size of the inner

for example

a car that has 8j all round

front - 2" lip meaning the inner is 6"

back is 2.5" meaning the inner is 5.5" so therefore the inner on the back is smaller than the front even though the wheels are the same width overall

I'm not sure what the question is though? is it what are the smallest option of bbs rms whole wheel width, or by without the lip does this mean the standard inner wheel width of a bbs rm??? i am confused you educate me prince

iam after the basket size (without dish)

matt

I belive the basket is 6j. Only saying this as the standard lip is 0.5

Sam

well when i was searching for mine, the smallest i came across was 6.5 , thats with a lip, dunno what the size of the lip is (might be an inch actually), but arnt the inners of all bbs rms the same width, and people just change the lips?

i knew it was 0.5

no the barrels/inners can be replaced with different sizes and come in different sizes just like you do with the lips

linky http://www.justmatz.co.uk/bbs-information.php

we'll never know the standard size

according to that page they do replacement inners for as small as 5.5"

iv never seen them thinner than 6.5 (basket and lip) , so is the 5.5 basket a custom made one , or is it standard and the standard lip is 1 inch. and not 0.5inch, ?

bbs rm012s are a 6" basket n 0.5" lip standard. et33.

thats a nice amount of stretch not too much, just right imo

guessin thats a 195/45? only other tyres smaller than that is a 165/50 nankang or bridgestone.. 185/45 nankang.

165 does look good if u like the stretched look but is quiet alot of stretch imo.
