S5 Q: Is there a staggered setup for BBS LMs

On tirerack.com I could only pull up a 9.5 all around setup...
Can any wheel pros/experts kindly chime in please.

And does anyone know the manufacturer of these wheels:
these will be my 2nd choice.

Thanks in advance!

I know they are not the HRE 841's, but if you want a similiar looking wheel...you should check it out.

Yes, You can do 19x8.5 with ET32 in the front and 19x9.5 with ET32 also for the rear...

Hit up Peter@WheelExperts.com and hell hook you up on your wheel/tire package

While staggered wheels will fit on the car, staggered wheels on awd cars can damage the differential and mess with the ABS. These cars are calibrated to have the same size contact patch in front and rear. Stick with the same size all around.

Hey guys, staggered offset is the more accurate term =)

Sorry for the confusion, and I couldn't pull the offset info from tirerack, just the 9.5 width all around.

Still deciding between the LMs and the Work Wheels, though leaning towards the LMs since there is no turnaround/delays involved.

Thanks for all the help!

Staggered offsets are not available from BBS for that wheel. The best way to go is to with a set of spacers. I'll do some research to see what will fit best.

That wheel requires a hardware package that includes centering rings, spacers, and longer lug bolts. With the spacers included, that wheel sits right at the fender. No need for staggered offsets.
