I have a set of the 16 in 05 ACR BBS wheels that I am mulling putting on my SRT-4.

I think the wheels look great but ... look a little small in the wheel wells of the SRT-4 compared to a 17 in wheel.

One way I was thinking of offsetting this a bit would be to put the Stage 1 lowering springs on and put 205/55/16 tires on. I was thinking this would fill up the wheel well a bit more and also save me the trouble of swapping the speed sensor gear.

Thoughts?

This is what a stock ACR w/ BBS wheels looks like.

I have a set of the 16 in 05 ACR BBS wheels and I have a mullet.

Thoughts?

Any chance of selling me the SRT wheels? Since when do you have a mullet?

Here's a pic of my '04 SRT4 with the ACR BBS rims on it. There is definately some more clearance above the tires in the back then a true ACR but i didnt think it looked too bad. I borrowed the rims for SDAC last year but sadly had to give them back... If you dont put those on your car i'd be glad to pick them up from ya.. ;)

Hey I recognize that CSX of yours, one of the Pennsylvania guys used to own that car. I recognized it at SDAC too. Thanks for the pic. I think the problem with the BBS wheels is not that they are 16 in, it is that the ACRs came with those low profile tires.

Yeah it moved around the last couple years from PA down to FL. I picked it up off gvare001 from florida a few months ago.

Dont forget the ACR SRT4s had lowered spring perches in the rear too which closed the gap a bit more... 17" Stock SRT4 rims wont fit on ACRs.

The BBS wheels are pure Sex on the SRT-4's, however the car needs to be dropped a bit to make them look right on the car. I have an 05 SRT-4 ACR with Mopar stage 1 Lowering springs, and I think it sits just right. It's high enough I don't bottom out, and low enough to make the rims look a proper size and that the front fascia scrapes if I'm not careful.

Sorry to bring it back from the dead, but where'd you get your BBS wheels? I've been looking for quite some time and have been unable to find a set under 1k. :( I want to get ride of my srt wheels and get a set of these. I've always wanted an acr. Ended up snagging just a regular NSRT

I got them at a local Mopar show in the swap meet area. I didn't pay anywhere near $1k either ...

Not yet, I may put them on my R/T instead, I haven't decided yet.

There was a time a few years ago when BBS was selling all of there extra stock of those wheels on ebay for around $500 a set NOS. The best place to find them for cheap is on craigslist in the larger cities. I'm not sure there were any other OEM BBS wheels in 17 inch with 5x100mm and the correct offset for our cars. Some Subie, and VW BBS wheels have the correct bolt pattern, but the wrong offset. They could be made to work with adapters, or spacers though.
