Beautiful, restored, rebuilt rare BBS RS005, RS006 with custom step-up 17" conversion.

F: 17x8, +11 (5.5" barrels, 2" lips)
R: 17x9.5, +9 (6" barrels, 3" lips)


Centers/faces newly powdercoated, brand new barrels powdercoated. New polished step lips. Brand new stainless/chromed 12-point bolts and stainless nuts.

Waffles are the rare, heavy 011 versions that only came on 005/006s.

These were custom made for my 1971 BMW 2800CS (E9), which fits perfectly! 205F and 225 (possibly 235) tires are recommended tire sizes.

These should fit just fine for other 5-lug BMWs. Probably E3s, E12s, E28s, E36s, E30s w/5-lug conversion, E34s, E31s, should work too.

For those w/E9s wondering if they'll fit, notice Barry's car from this thread:

Possible Wheel Options - 17x8/9 Staggered

Those are my wheel specs that I got. Did you need any spacers? What size of tires? Rolled the fenders? From what I know, the staggered 18" Style5s were factory BMW wheels found only on the Euro market 7-series (E38?). 5mm spacers in the front with 215/45/18. No spacers in the rear with...
e9coupe.com e9coupe.com

Has a similar setup, but both his wheels (F&R) stick out 1/2" further than mine, yet his wheels fit just fine w/the aforementioned tire setup.

May require some fender rolling; no spacers required; clears everything.

$3400 plus shipping from Seattle.

Very pretty! FWIW - 9.5" is just under 242mm. I don't think you would want to run anything less than a 235, which will as expected have a bit of stretch. You can fit 245's on an e9 out back if the offset is setup for it. Have you measured how much clearance you have to the front of the trailing arm as well as the exhaust pipe? My 235's grazed the factory exhaust pipe, but it can be clocked accordingly.
 
Ya, for the rear, I had a full 1" of clearance on the trailing arm. Long way's away from exhaust pipe.

BarryG runs 225s on his 10" wide wheel (he also runs a 6" rear barrel), so figured 225s (or 235s) can work on a 9.5" rim.

They should fit. I had a set of Fikse FM-10 3 piece wheels on my 88 M6 with the exact fr/rr dimensions and roughly the same offset and they were a perfect fit.

The super deep dished rear wheels of the RS will really compliment the e24 rear wheel wells superbly.
