hi all
found a set of BBS rims with 5x112 bolt pattern. will they fit my 85
westi or 71 sunroof bus?
here are the details:
BBS Made in Germany
237 ET23
7J x 16 h2
if they will work will they need to be machined to fit? or just bolt
on? thanks in advance. Jonce

They should fit if the lug holes are large enough. '237' is the BBS model number. With that combination of wheel width, offset and diameter, the inside of the front wheels should clear the spindles.

My BBS wheels were '217' models and I had to enlarge the lugholes and cut new seats in them, I think the '237's used 14mm ball seats. They should have a 66mm centerbore. I have a write-up here http://home.earthlink.net/~tjhannink/wheelsandtires.htm on how I modified mine to fit my camper.

Good luck,
