AR Fs: BBS Mahle Meshies 5x114.3, 15x8, -20 offset w/tires - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I have an ultra clean set of old school BBS Mahle Mesh wheels. Gold with a polished lip. 5x114.3, 15x8, NEGATIVE 20 offset. These babies are mint, I have the original BBS center caps I will include. The lip is 4", backspacing is 3.5", and have about 1/2" caliper clearance. I have a brand new set of 205/60 Falken ZE512s with 0 miles stretched and mounted on them. I just put them on the car for fitting. Looking to get $800 with tires or $600 without. Prices do not include shipping. Shipping will likely be about $100 to most of the US. I'm also open to trades, 5x114.3 & RWD offsets only please. Just pm or e-mail me if you have a question or offer.

Later,
Anthony

Wow, some very rare and nice wheels there!

Is -20 stamped on the wheel? If it has 4 inches of lip and 4 inches of backspacing with a completely flat face that would be +0 offset. You mention a 1/2 inch for caliper clearance, so that would mean you roughly have -12s or 13s.

Not trying to take away from your thread, just trying to figure out how you got -20 out of it with those back spacing measurements. If you have one of those L shaped rulers that is large enough you can just put it on the part of the wheel where it bolts to the hub and measure from that point to the end of the wheel to get a more accurate back spacing measurement.

GL with the sale!

From memory of measuring them:

The wheels measure 9" from edge of lip to edge of lip. 4" from face of wheel to edge, 4" from back of mounting point to the edge, & the spoke area is roughly 1/2" thick, with 1/2" clearance for calipers. So it should be roughly -12 or so, but I say "-20" because I believe they have that stamped on a couple of them. Likely one of my measurements are wrong. They may be 8.5" or my backspacing measurement is a little wrong. I'll try to get some pics of the stamping and get a better measurement tonight.

BTW: Here are a couple of extra pics of when I was cleaning them up:

I remeasured the backspacing on the wheels and it is approx. 3.5" which is -25. All I could find to measure with was a tape measure though. So, they could still be -20. I checked for the offset stamp but the lighting was really bad in the garage. If anyone is interested, hit me up with an offer. I'm wanting to get a set of Rota P45Rs and am looking to move these.

Bump!!! Any offers or trades? Message me for more pics.

BTW:These are some rare-ass wheels in this size & offset. I sold my S13 and have nothing but FCs now, and will have to run wide-fenders to make these work. I really dont want to have to do that.
