Talking Got my BBS CH-Rs - Pictures and Video HERE

Hi all,

After a 4 month long wait, I finally got my BBS CH-R fitted up and boy am I happy with the result. They really set the car off!

New Wheel specs are 19x8 ET40 FRONT and 19x9 ET44 REAR.

Here's a quick video I put together of the experience, and showing how tyres are stripped and fitted without damaging the wheels.

Some photos below too

Hey, great video, well done! I'm just curious what size tires you will be mounting when the stock ones wear out?

Thanks and good question. I'm thinking I might go up to 265s on the back and 235s on the front for a slightly more "chunky" fitment. Will have to check clearances first though. Haven't had a real close look yet.

1) You most likely won't be able to fit 265/30 in the rear with ET44.

2) These wheels are great both visually and function-wise (rather strong and not heavy).

It's the BBS that might be a problem. I've got a set of these wheels and then decided to get 2 spares... good luck with that. BBS couldn't be bothered to do anything for their client once a set is sold. Paid for 2, then was told I was placed on back order, they shipped 4 months later... 1 wheel, then... can never get a reply from them... and it's now been 6 months or so.

I have a set of CI-R wheels (et45 front and et48 rear) waiting on tires. I'm pretty sure 235/35 and 265/30 will be OK but I don't know about adding Dinan springs, there might not be enough clearance.

you should be fine as long as the wheels are 19x8 front, 19x9 rear

Love BBS CH-R

Man am I jealous -- I just think the BBS CH-R's are so nice looking and quality without looking over-the-top and boy racer.

Pure Class and will look good years from now
.
Great Choice!

At a glance it looks like I'll have plenty of clearance but I'll do the proper measurements when the time comes to order tyres.

Will also depend on sidewall thickness.

A 255 wide tire looked very close to the limit on my car, some poke and when the wheel went into the arch it looked like maybe a couple of mm left before it would rub the fender.

Remember the wheels tuck as they travel up towards the body.

These are fantastic wheels. Pricey for sure. But I'm sure they are worth it. Looks great man!

I got them form AMG Australia - http://www.amgaustralia.com/

No special deal and i didn't get a discount for making a video or anything like that. I just like sharing positive experiences through my channel.
