Howdy folks,
Can anyone Identify these wheels. I realy like the look.
I need to know offsets too.
I have seen differing opinions on weather 16X7 BBS RS with et11 offset will work in the front.
Regards,
ElRey

As evident by the pic, should be a perfect fit as these BBS rims have the exact offset as the Alpina staggers. Nonetheless, your front fender lips ought to be rolled to avoid potential rubbing during hard cornerings and hitting of big bumps and potholes.

BBS Rims

Not sure of the exact factory model number but I've heard them referred to as "BBS RS II". I have these 16x7 rims on my E24 and E9 and didn't have to roll the front fenders on the latter. Don't understand why not. No clearance issues.

Assuming the coupe has not been lowered then most likely, it won't be an issue. But, if the coupe has been lowered then the potential for tire rubbing the fender is much greater. Compressed front suspensions during aggressive driving, cornering, hard braking and big potholes will all contribute the tires hitting the fender lips and pulling them down in the process.
