2005 S4 (B6) - BBS CH 19x8.5 - What Offset (ET) ????

JimGreen · Jun 15, 2014

Hi Guys & Girls

Looking to replace my wheels with some BBS CH 19x8.5 but want to make sure I get the right offset..... Original wheels are 18x8 ET43.

Anyone running BBS CH 19x8.5 and can advise me on best off-set....... Pics appreciated.

Many Thanks
Jim

heres a couple of pictures of the two different wheels i've had BBS LM's were 8.5x19 et42 and the 3SDM's are also 8.5x19 but have an et32 offset. Not BBS CH's i know but you can see where the wheels sit in the arches. The et32 fill the arches nicely and look that little bit chunkier.
The 3SDM's required the arches to be rolled ever so slightly to clear but i have AP coil overs fitted so it is quite low.
So I think an 8.5x19 ET35 wheel should fit perfectly.

Thanks very much for that, looks like the ET35 will fit nicely.

Appreicated.

ET35 It is then.

With 19x8.5 they only come in et35. They will catch a liitle at standard ride height over big bumps and the lower you go the more often you will get a bit of scrubbing.

No problem mate, et35 is the magic number, I had it low plus I could still have a car full and the wheels would tuck into the arch with no scrubbing at all
