BBS rims and tire size
What is the widest tire someone put on the BBS vert rim and if i could see some pics I was thinking about 225/55 at least in the rear but I don't want the tire to stick way past the rim. Send some pics let me see what they look like.

Why do you want such a wide tire?
I would think a 205 wide tire is about the widest I'd go with the 6.0"? 6.5"? width...
Going with a wider tire than the rim can handle will degrade performance due to too much sidewall flex.

They are 6.5" rims. I ran 225/50/15 on the BBS Vert wheels before. I no longer use the wheels but here is an old picture...

Vert rims are 15x6.5. You can go out to 225 fairly safely (common size for a track tire would be 225/50r15). You may or may not see any performance gain depending on the tire.
