ISF BBS wheels help

Hello everyone...

Regarding the bbs 19in alloys I wanted to ask and find out if all 4 alloys are the same size? Meaning if the shop fitted them wrong and not on each corner as intended by bbs...

I ask because after a refub on a repaint the wheels 'fan blade design' on 3 wheels is facing backwards rather than frontwards...

Any help is appreciate
Thanks

The stamping on the inside is proof, as RSXiMUS referenced to. It would be a bit weird if only one was showing a different direction. There were a few replicas out there and they were in the opposite direction of the BBS design. All four are not the same size. The front two have an 8.0 width, while the rears are 9.0.

I currently have 225/40/19 front and rear are 255/35/19, but I hear later isf's tyre setup had wider rear fitments?

Should be like the attached. Also see specs. BTW the correct nomenclature is Samurai Design.

^^^^Actually that's the case for the 2010+ USA ISF wheels. But, that's academic because that's not what the OP has.

I just looked at mine on the car.... I could not see anything looking around the barrel of the wheel. May not be looking in the right place though. My wheels are pretty dirty though..

There will be no FL, FR, RL or RR lables on IS F wheels from 2010 to 2014

From 2008 to 2009 -> You can find the markings on ONE of the inner blades.. See my post from 2011..

He will have to check and see what kind of tires he has on there.

For you, all you have to do is tell the shop which wheel belongs where...

All 2008 & 2009 wheels are clearly stamped on each wheel.

On One of the inside Blades Like so:

FL - FR - RL - RR
