I'm putting out an APB for the tire rack guy (sorry I can't remember your name)

I am expecting delivery of a set of BBS RD 17" wheels

Specs:
-17x7 BBS RD Wheels
-Bolt Pattern 4x100, Offset 38mm

My question is : Do I need different lug nuts for these wheels (or will the mini lug nuts work) ? The original owner recieved new lugnuts from tire rack, If I do need a set of lug nuts to fit these wheels how Do I go about ordering them from tire rack (I need them asap) I am getting the wheels tommorow and the new tires from tire rack this week and I needt to have these on the car before I get the car inspected on the 10th of this month. Thanks.

 

Call Tire Rack and ask for Alex.

 

Thanks


doesn't he chime in on discussions every once in a while ?

 

You could always PM him

 

nah...don't think he has it turned on. alex@tirerack.com

if you need lugnuts or rings, Tire Rack includes them. my experience with BBS wheels on the MINI is they use the stock bolts

 

Thanks, The original owner recieved bolts and hub centric rings from tire rack, the second owner got the wheels with the bolts (no rings) from the the original owner. I (3rd owner) am getting the wheels & rings only , no bolts. So I am assuming that if tire rack supplied the original owner with bolts and hub centric rings they did so for a reason. Thanks

 

was that the set on ebay? or somewhere else?

 

Oh I stand corrected.

 

Yes.
