BBK question

04 sedan. Stock 17's.

Is there a BBK that fits our stock 17's?
Is there a certain size rim and offset to run a BBK?


Thanks.

I am sure you could find something, but why not upgrade your rims first and get the BBK later? Whatever BBK you get that fits under the stock 17's will not look good under larger rims.

I'm sure there are BBK's that will fit the 17's. From what i've seen on many other makes, 17" seems to be the min size for a lot. You'll just have to research.


I don't think you need to get rims first. It's not all about show. He might be more interested in putting some Woah into the car to match it's Go.

you will have to run spacers to make them work, or you can get this.

They also make it in a 2 piece and for the rear.

I had similar thoughts but maybe for different reasons. I wanted a BBK to go with my 19" summer wheels, and wanted to use the stock 17 inchers for a winter setup.

In the end I sold the 17 inchers for 18 sport sedan wheels to become the winter setup. They fit under Brembos with spacers.

But boy what a pain getting two new sets of tires/wheels to accomodate the BBK!

Oh damn I want this. The oem calipers painted black don't really bother me but I hate how small our oem rotors are. Might have to get this soon. So this would clear oem 17"s?
