The stock wheels on it now are et35 and 5.5" width.

I will be putting on my BBS RS 3 pieces as soon as I can, and they are et32 and 6.5" width.

I will be running adapters vice getting redrilled.

Can anybody tell me how much of additional offset I will be able to fit in there? Most adapters I am finding are between 25 and 30mm.

I will be going to the 'tex with this question as well.

Did you fail math? With the 25mm adapters you'll be at 7mm offset with the BBS. You'll also have about another 1/2" of wheel width over your stock. I have a 22 offset in the rear and 30 in the front with a 15x7, still had to make them clear the fenders. Your tire choice will also play a huge role in this too.

You'll have to do some work to make them fit but its doable. And in the end, you'll still have the option to redrill.

hmmm... I am thinkin redrill might be the way..., oh, and I didn't know which direction et went vice poke. So I didn't know whether to add the adapters to the et32 or subtract. :D

the more poke the lower the number

you subtract the spacer from the ET and that gives you the new ET

get the holes filled and get them redrilled

Kevin... You had a number to a place that could do this right? Can you get that to me again? I should pay to do this while I got the couple extra dollars.

id just do a 10 hole redrill. i did that on my rs. they stagger the new bolt pattern and still keep the original. having them filled and drilled costs more and isnt necessary. but might be the only way if you wheels arent completely flat on the mounting surface.

i paid $30 a wheel for my redrill. dont forget hub-rings too
