BBS RA 179 MAHLE

6X13

4x100

ET13

57.1

The wheel will fit 4x100pcd and 57.1 hole.

 

Whether a tyre will fit in the arch depends on

• suspension lowered ?
• tyre profile?
• clearance for uprated springs?

 

5.5J with ET38 fits as standard.

There's the Tyre Bible calculator for offset with wider wheel.

 ET13 sounds about right... hold on lemme find a link.

 

Could not find the tire/tyre bible.

 

Using this

https://www.tyresizecalculator.com/tyre-wheel-calculators/wheel-offset-backspace-calculator

 

says it'll protude backwards 120mm from centreline while 5.5J ET38 original only 100mm.

So I think it will need 20mm hub-centric (££) spacers to avoid the springs. And that means outer edge of tyre's going to be very close to the arch lip over bumps. So, 15mm spacers might be enough.

 

(inner lip metal can be folded in or cut away).

Using a tyre profile like 175/50/r13 with slight stretch could fit, but I've not tried that myself.

Excellent info thank you..

 

The car is completely standard @ the moment..

 

Just tossing up what are some good options..
