Hi guys, just bought my first 240 GL. My neighbour happens to have these BBS lying around. They came of a Volkswagen, don't know the model. I can't find the stud of the them. Does anyone know if they can fit or how to find out the stud? It's not imprinted anywhere on the wheel..or I'm too stupid to see it. Nothing on the inside of the wheels.

 

I am not aware of any VW with the 5X108mm bolt circle of Volvo. Adapters could make it work dependent on the backspacing.

 

I know that no VW has that 5 x 108 stud. But as the pic shows there are 2 different studs. It just doesn't really say which one is what.

 

Looking at the pic again I have to say it looks like someone just drilled 5 new holes in there! Because the narrower holes are all drilled into the writing. BBS would never do that. Looks like someone had a genius moment. Makes me question their stability now. I probably should stay away from them.

 

wouldn't trust those rims with carrying a gallon of milk, much less me life. Im sure they probably won't shear off but never drill holes in a rim. Rims that have 2 sets of holes are engineered that way and are thicker in that area.

Besides these are a 5x100 bolt pattern
33mm offset
with a 57 mm bore

volvo will be
5x108
35-38 mm Offset
65mm bore

Got no clue what the..we will call it "custom" bolt pattern is

 

I agree. These would be a bad dangerous idea. Someone with a drill press knocked these holds out. Rims are ruined unless they are welded up.
