If you want to go really low, like Dubpolo, then staying with 15"s is a good bet.
Plenty of choice in the wheel deaprtment too if you want to change the alloys from the original BBS

That is low, may have to stick with the BBS for a while then, that looks sweet

Look how dubpolo's wheels stick in the cars arch my 16's run flush with the edge of the panel work they are the right offset but half and inch really does make probs!!
Pics soon

Thats because the standard BBS 15's are 6inch wide, or even 5.5"... my new ones are 15x7.
Phill.

Wheel spacers are on the way peeps! What size tyre are you running? 205 wide? ET35? Because the overall radius of a 15" wheel running 195/45/15 is the same as a 16" wheel running 195/40/16 (or so I’ve been told!)
P.s if you want to go low but still run a 16" wheel, strech some 185 tyres on, or if your not arsed about grip... 175!

What wheel spacers did you order m8, im looking @ some 15mm ones for the rear, not sure about the front, think it will be okay!

quite dangerous for the thickness that exceeds 10mm for this kind of spacer.
you should consider another type like this...with adapting bolts.

What does everyone recommend then, chances are, I'll stick with the Standard BBS for a while and go low, how low can I go and will I need spacers? Stupid question but what do you want/need the spacers for (I don't know much about this kind of thing
)

i'm 75 to 80mm without any rubbing, wheel spacers just push the wheels out more for a wider look

You got a side view of your car? Perfectly from the side (not the front and side etc)
