FL Bbs replicas rs

I want to keep the factory look on my 1991 Convertible.
I want to order some 17" BBS RS Replica Wheels for 1991 Convertible. I need help with picking the correct size 17x7, 17x8, etc.. and offsets.
I'm kind of looking for that Reverse (Big Lip - dollar bill size) look for the rear. The front can be standard offset.
Thanks in advance for any help I receive on this.

I bought replicas off of ebay and am very happy with them.

But i went with 18x8 up front and 18x9 in the rear with a 3" lip. Kinda wishin i wouldve gone with 17's but oh well.

So what do these numbers mean on the original 15" BBS wheels and how can I apply these numbers to find the correct reverse offset wheel?

Do you plan to roll or pull your rear fenders? Not a ton of room for lip if you don't.

Stock body fitment

17x8 +25mm offset for front w/ 235 tire(might need to roll fender) or stick with 225

17x9 +35mm offset for rear w/ 275 rear tire should fit under stock body.

These are the off sets I went with. As far as your wide body your talking about..who knows. You need to get them on and measure to be exact
