18x8 +38 offset bbs, spacer or not
Recently, I bought a set of 18x8 +38 offset BBS RSGT for my G from ebay. THe shipment will be here by Thursday. Wondering whether or not I need to grap some spacers. Please give some advices.

if you have a coupe, those are horrible offsets. you'll be like 1/4" more tucked than your stock wheels. you'll need like 30mm spacers.
if for a sedan, it might be ok.

Yeah, if your G is a sedan than probably will look okay. Coupe, then you will probably need a 25mm or 30mm spacer.

Nice wheels. Put them on the car and see if you clear the brake calliper and strut housing. Go from there.

I have wheels with offsets like that. Run about 10mm more spacer in the rear.

Those offsets are horrible. Worse than stock and narrower than my rear stock rims...
I honestly suggest you do at least 15mm spacers, even then it will look weird due to such narrow wheels.

i dont really want to sell them b/c they are BBS Rs-GT and brand new. I am so in love with bbs and there are not many bbs wheels available for Japanese cars. Unless someone can offer me a good deal on bbs,too! Thank for all the reply.

then just buy some 30mm spacer and you'll be happy!
