Hello there all, I'm in the process of starting my TII 5lug swap, and I had just came across a full set of bbs verts from a friend of mine for free!(yay!). My main question is, will the bbs verts fit a 1st gen without rubbing on the suspension components? Also I plan on rolling the fenders a lot, so fender rubbing is not an issue. Also does anyone have a picture of bbs verts on a 1st gen? That'd be awsome. Thanks in advance!

You will need 25mm spacers up front to keep them from rubbing on the springs, otherwise they fit and look great. Attached is a pic of my T2 83.

 

82transam that 7 looks sweet

 

Thanks!

 

hey transam, which springs do you have on that car?

 

Eibach in the rear and re-speed coilovers in the front with 200lb springs. Although I'm thinking about changing a few things on this car before spring so its thats not written in stone

 

This is my old fb on vert wheels,from what I can remember It had a 25mm spacers up front.

 

Them rims look sweet on a 1st gen.

 

Yeah they do fit it quite well. A bunch of things have changed on my car since the pic earlier in this thread, one thing you guys might want to consider is spacing the rear's out a bit too. You need 25mm up front to clear the springs and this makes the front noticably wider than the rear. I ended up using a 20mm spacer in the rear with longer studs. So far no issues, although they do rub on some bumps, will need to roll the fender lip a bit.

 

what tire sizes were you able to fit on em out of curiosity?

 

vert wheels look awesome on FB's!

 

They're nice and light too! I'm runing 205/50-15's (which seems to be the typical 15" tire size on a FB) on mine, you can go much wider in the back, but the front is pretty tight. Might be able to get 215's on there, but I can't say 100%
