Modded 308

Those are two completely different versions of the BBS RZ wheel family - single piece vs 3 piece, both factory BBS, nothing converted about those. I don't imagine you could safely convert a single piece wheel into a centre for a 3 piece wheel - I sure wouldn't trust driving on it!

There are BBS wheels available already in 3 piece - these E50 BBS wheels were sold by some Ferrari dealers as options when the cars were new. I bought this 16" set 5 years ago in great shape... but even with the polished lip, the dimensions and offsets are the same as the stock 16" wheels, 7" wide fronts, 8" wide rears Image Unavailable, Please Login

 

Here is an example just probably a larger size and a bit lower than you're looking for. Think it looks cool though.

Good stuff! Well there aren't many here that support these types of mods but I'm all for it. I would look at 18" Rotiforms...these two I like for the 308/328

3200-4200 depending on the finishes you want. They have those styles as well...all customized

I don't feel like checking my notes/tech manual, but I believe the low point on the oil pan is about 5.25" from the ground. Consider how little distance that actually is, and combine it with the height of the average taller speed bump. Drop the car lower if you like - it's your car - but at least do be aware of the reality that the 308 isn't very high to begin with.

And at the risk of debating aesthetics, this ://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191224/cfb36fefb97bd6a0b36bdb4a67a3c060.jpg

...looks completely ricer and stupid. I'll grant that the stock gap is about 1/2" more than I'd like, but going into the land of "camber stance" just invites mockery. There is a theoretical good relationship between body vs rim vs gap, and that particular image demonstrates no clue what that relationship should be.

 

You might be surprised at the result; I've changed from OEM to poly bushings, and though the handling has improved (perhaps), the overall ride quality has suffered. It's not as if the 308 is a slushy car to begin with.

 

If you're looking for stockish 3 piece then you might like the image f40

If you have something else in you head I can probably do custom 3 piece for around $500 if its 308 like.....it depends how much milling, a bbs type design is morr like $700 I'd guesstimate done as a milled billet center vs cast

 

Question- If you go with larger tires/wheels to fill the wheel well gaps aren't you changing the aspect ratio vs stock? This would have the effect of making your car accelerate slower? I don't think that is a trade worth making (even if it looks better).
Thoughts??

 

Generally larger wheel means smaller tire and total diameter doesn't change ..unless he goes 20s then this would be the case

If you don't change the diameter, how does it fill the wheel well better?

 

....by lowering the car

I guess you just use the stock tires and wheels and lower the car. Same difference?

 

Wasn’t someone else trying to source a used oil pan a while ago?

 

There are a couple of aftermarket shock options that will allow you to lower the car bit and fill the gap, while keeping stock 16". It does look nice to have the extra half inch to an inch gone, that's me it's not worth the expense or road risks at present.

 

There's more than one method;I believe the one in the link you've shown doesn't require that sort of modification to the control arm.

 

A couple years ago Igot a quote of $2100 for a set of 4 of the image f40 wheels (and would have bought them until they sent an email with a political message I found unacceptable). I'm sure the hre are better but I'm not sure 4x better.

Also a place like
http://wheelflip.com/

Has the parts to make about any size 3 piece wheel you could ever want. I spoke to them and they also have blank centers which let you make any design center you want. I can get finished wheels out of China for about what the US places charge for parts but they can certainly help you with whatever you want.

 

Wheels are a good mod
This was the best mod I did
I can dial in engine management easily and give an incredible throttle response Image Unavailable, Please Login
