Looking at used wheels for winter.
Will stock EVO X BBS wheels fit on my 2010 GSR ?
Is anything special required i.e. adaptors, specific lug nuts?
Thank you!

 

they'll bolt right on, no mods needed. stock lugs SHOULD work not 100% sure on that though

edit- stock lugs from your GSR*

 

you MUST use stock lugs on the evo x BBS wheels no? the BBS wheels need stock flat faced lugs, aftermarket lugs are angled...

 

Thanks for that. So I need the lugs that came with the BBS wheels?
I'm sure tire rack can supply if they don't come with BBS. Thanks

 

Pretty sure you can use the GSR lugs. Not aftermarket tho. The base is shaped different in racing lugs.

 

This is true... you dont want to run aftermarket lug nuts > No good + Dangerous

 

I'm using BBS wheels on my GSR, you can use the stock lugs.

 

^^ stock lugs^^

 

All...thanks for the info! The used BBS go for major dollars on ebay so I will likely buy a set of Enkei PFO1 (19.2 lbs) for $320 each with Michelin Pilot Sports A/S Plus from Tire Rack. Seems like this would be a great Winter/low temp setup without going with snows?

 

the continental extreme contact DWS gets rave reviews for its snow capability. if you want better performance out of the snow the michelins are good.

i personally went with goodyear eagle F1 All-season. very grippy in dry and wet. they performed great year round including light snow. then i made the mistake of driving it during last years blizzard. i got stuck in pretty deep powdery snow as the treads were all impacted. add in minimal sipes and probably a more summer oriented compound and all 4 tires just spun. AWD is useless if you have the incorrect tires...

so if you expect to drive in snow and dont want to go with dedicated snows, it may be best to get the tire with the best snow performance... and for that i hear only good things about the DWS...

 

Thanks for the feedback madfast I'll check out the Continentals. Can't wait to try the GSR in the snow. It's been hard to really get a good feel for the handling dynamics on dry pavement/public roads. light snow is great for discovery at lower speed!

 

Just Bolt on no other adjustments required
