Alex,
Can I use the stock wheel bolts to attach my new wheels to my car? Or do I need to get new bolts? I think the torque specs for tightening is 85 ft lbs?

Thanks for the help,
Carl

New bolts are required, and I include the if needed, and they are needed!

>>I think the torque specs for tightening is 85 ft lbs?

Go 90 lb/ft is a bit over the 110n/m the manuel specifies!

Alex,

Why new bolts? How much for the bolts from Tire Rack? How can I get them and can I get them from any shop?

Thanks,
Carl

The mounting flange depth is diffrent! Call me to order if needed. Any shop can sell bolts, but the correct bolts is another story.

Thanks again Alex,

I opened the second box and it had the correct hubrings and lug bolts included. Thanks for the info. We found out how the mount the hubrings correctly. There are locking rings that hold the hubrings from coming off. It took a little bit of head scratching, but we figured it out.

Is there a brake in period for new wheels and tires?

Thanks,
Carl

 

Be easy on the tires untill 250 miles ! This helps get them ready to roll! - retorque wheels 1 or 2 times in the 1st week of ownership!

Hey Alex I have A question.The BBS RGR's are in the US what in Europe BBS calls RX model?Why the name difference?

 

Sorry about the 6x of my post but it was by mistake.

 

RGR and Rx are very similar looking, notice the lip section diffrences. RGR are also forged, RX is high pressure cast. Totally diffrent wheels!

Alex

 

Alex are the RGR's still available on the market?Cause BBS in the official webpage BBS.com do not include them in the official model range.U know sth I don't?
