pretty nice wheels....
offset probably sucks, but i put down a bid anyways

They look pretty narrow, maybe 7". The offset you could always play with spacers, etc. Try to verify center bore size. Too big and you lose a bit of strength, but too small and could be trouble.

I need new rims that will fit with the bb kit. Is this possible with theese rims?

 

[BillyM]

Beware! I think a member had a set of epsilon 16" rims and found that they wouldn't clear the bbk. "SilverMk2" I'm pretty sure. I would get in touch with him just incase.

[SilverMk2]

They don't. I had a custom 3/8" spacer made for the front so that they do fit though.

Whats the drawback with 'spacers' (if any)?

If the bbk will fit, (with spacers) i thing i'll buy me theese wheels.

You may need to change the studs for longer ones.

Some racing orginzations won't allow them.

About $300 less in your pocket. Split between the custom spacers and the new studs. And in my case the wheels don't fit correctly anymore.

How do you mean?

The tires rub the flares during hard cornering now. I've already broke the corner off the RF flare. Technically I now have 16x8 -9.5mm offset, not 0mm.

I see. A fix could be to mount a narrower tyre on the rim. It may help.

It's actually some different options for Aaron.

Get a different brand of 16x8's in a 0 offset that will correctly clear the JK BBK's.

Or....

Keep the Epsilons, but ditch the BBK's & the spacers.. Now you have wheels that fit correctly.

We do know that 16x8 0mm offset Compomotive CXN's will clear the BBK's, since that's the combo that Jim King used when he put together the BBK.

I think Aaron was eventually going to do the first option.

Why not change the hoops on the front Epsilons and leave the rears? Easy and cheap.

Aaron, if you decide to go with the Compamotives, let me know if you want to sell the Epsilons.
