View Full Version : New Rims/Tires for the Mach - BBS RK

FINALLY!!!

After extensive searching and one blown deal I finally have a set of BBS RK rims for my Mach! I purchased them from a gentleman on modularfords.com.

18x8.5 - 265/35/18
18x10 - 295/35/18

Tires are BFG g-force T/A KD

Rims weigh ~19lbs front & ~20lbs That's a savings of ~9-10lbs at each corner and I can feel the difference.

I might drop down in size on tires after these are worn. I think the front are a little too big for the rim. I may go 245/40 or 255/40 and either stay with a 295/35 in back or drop to a 285/35.

I know these may not be a style everyone likes, but other than CCW Classics these have always been my favorite wheel. Maybe one day these will be black too!:D

I like em! Of course, I have the same rims :)

I have 245s in front and 295s in back. I could tell the difference in weight when I put mine on too. The car actually rides better with 18" rims/tires than it did with the heavier 17" rims/tires.

Right now I have some black 03 rims with drag radials on, but the RKs will go back on once I drag it some..

BTW, don't damage those rear rims, you can't get those anymore.

I know, I had one set slip through my fingers last summer/fall and wondered if I would come across some again in very good condition. I called BBS direct, and they offered me the RGs since the RK 18x10 are out of production, but I wanted to hold out to find some RK 18x10s. I wanted the silver too. The plasmas are cool, but I like the silver better.

Thanks all for the compliments! :bigthumb

I got the same ones on my gt. I run 295-35 and 245-40. Yea they need to be black or plazma/black chrome on your car.

You lucky SOB. Great choice man, they look killer on the car. Care to pm me what you gave for them? Did you actually weigh them? That seems crazy light for an 18x10 wheel.
