BBS CH-R Rear Offset
« on: August 31, 2025, 08:38:50 pm »
I'm planning on buying myself a set of new wheels. Will be going with the 18" CHR's. However there are 2 options. One being with et38 and the other with et 47 for the rear. Which ones are the better option?

It also depends on the width of the wheel........based on an 8" width

47 with be closer to OEM so further into the arch

38 will be further out and more flush with the arch.

I have ET35 18x8 all round on my BBS CS5's and they are flush with my arches.
