All was looking good until I checked the extended nuts and they only come with a conical NOT spherical head. Bugger after getting the guy to re-drill the RS to a spherical collar seat aswell. Bastad

I am thoroughly pissed off. To make matters worse I could only buy 2 so I'm still withouth front spacers however I reckon that ET45 will just about work on the front as the wheels are 6.5" wide and 6" with an ET45 work....

Robin probably gets some extended collar bolts to fix this bloody fiasco by the looks. Update tomorrow

OK well picked up the wheels today and the job they did was excellent. Shame I got spherical stud seats but oh well...

Put the wheel to the hub and the back 15 x 7 with an ET45 needed a 20mm spacer so put that on and it looked perfect. Only problem being the centre bore of the wheel is 60 and the eibach spacer has a hub of 57. When I picked up the wheels the guy said they could make a hub centric spacer so it will now be wheel hub 57 to 60 spacer hub.

The things we do to own BBS RS

Nice one !! Looks like a good job, i did wonder about the centre bore but sounds like a good plan.
Are they off a BMW or something ??

That`ll look sick man. How much did you get slugged to fill in and redrill the bolt holes?

They are off a merc apparently. The cost of filling and re-drilling was $85 / wheel + tax. The custom spacers and bolts weren't cheap but the quality of the work is first class. I need to take some pics with something better than a crappy camera phone. Teaser :P
