Golde-boy Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 I bought some rims at the junkyard that were on a 240sx but were only 3. I need help finding or identifying what kind of rim it is. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 We can't see photos on your computer, you must put them on the internet first. Yes, BBS rims are aftermarket. Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 Looks like it says 7 inch? width? Lay face down and place a straight edge across the back but not on the tire. Measure down to the WMS (wheel mounting surface) and post your results. From this the back space or off set of the rim can be worked out. Too much negative off set and the rim extends out and will hit or be hit by the fender during suspension movement. Too much positive and it may be too far in reducing the track width or hitting the suspension on turns. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 The offset is +37 They are FWD rims, BBS mesh Quote Link to comment
Golde-boy Posted April 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 When I bought them I thought they were going to be an oem BMW rim. I'm hoping I can still find a matching rim Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 This is the Wheels and Tires forum for the discussion of them. Now that you know what they are and their size, if looking for one to buy you will have to take this out of this forum and place an ad in the classifieds.... http://community.ratsun.net/classifieds/category/10-wheels-and-tires/?sort_key=date_added&sort_order=desc There is a link at the top center of every page. You can post a link to this thread for the pictures and description. I cleaned up all the superfluous posts. Quote Link to comment
oldskoolvws Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 7x15 ET 37 BBS Basketweaves Likely BMW E30 or E28. Quote Link to comment
Lockleaf Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 Aren't the old bmws 4x100? My buddy had e30 bottle caps on his ef civic... Maybe a five series was 4x114? Quote Link to comment
Golde-boy Posted April 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 I'm trying to figure if they're oem or aftermarket. Early bmw are 4x100. My rims are 4x114. Quote Link to comment
DaBlist Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 Would a 7" et37 fit a 240sx? Does the casting 413 mean there are 114.3? If not we need proof of lug pattern How many FWD cars were 114.3? I don't think BBS was building 15x7 wheels for the Cherry market Are we being played here? No pic in first post or question of how to post a pic. COME ON I know these will fit a Civic, 240sx, and a 510 Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 Yes, S13 (240SX) uses 15" x 6" +40, 4 Lug, 4.5" PCD rims Converted to metric that's 114.3 mm PCD A big offset like that is typically identified with FWD, but the S13 of course is RWD. Quote Link to comment
