rims question for a 90Q
I was looking around for wheels for my car 1989 90Q and i found my favorite BBS on a fair price but they are 17" + all the seller knows about the rims is that the bolt pattern is 4x108.
Any chance they will fit?
has anyone ever put a 17' on their ride does is feel right?
thanks

There should be both an "ET" number and a rim size on them that the seller can read.
Example, the 4x100 14" rims for a stock VW have stamped on them "ET45" and "6Jx14." This means they have a 45mm offset from center, are 6" wide, and are 14".
17" should fit with no problem but you need to worry about whether or not they rub on the suspension. This is where the width and ET numbers come into play.
BTW, those are nice looking rims.

idk if it fits on a 90, but with a 12mm spacer it does fit on a 1990 CQ,

Ok, so i probably will go take a look at them Saturday.
What is the offset and the width i should be looking for so it doesn't rub anywhere?
anyone has an idea?
