Bbs lm - offset help!
 

Hi Guys,
i'm pretty bad when it comes to sizes and offsets with wheels so i need your help!

I'm looking at bbs lm's.

Can someone please advise me on the offset, and how it'll look?

fronts: 18x8 +40. rears: 18x9 +42.

-'09 non-sport
-stock height at the moment, will lower on coils soon

Thanks

Too damn small!!!

Put it this way read the sticky thread how far can we go - offset discussion. it has been posted many times what sizes and our recommendations for offsets. I have posted offsets about a million times. Take a few minutes to read and you will learn a lot.

If your still confused after reading... Post in here what tires and sizes you want to run, what type of stance you want, how low you want to go, and if you are getting suspension parts like camber arms and control arms.

Those will be sunk in and when you lower the Z on coils. It'll be even more sunk in. With those widths, doesn't look like they have any lips at all but if you're getting a good deal on them. You could rebarrel them.

You heard it from the man himself. You would need roughly a 1" spacer just to get the wheels to where they sit stock,and guys on stock rims are adding 20mm to 25 mm spacers to get a flush fitment. When shopping for rims,you should try to get an offset and width that gets you to flush(depending on your tastes)without having to use spacers.

Wayyyyy too narrow and sunk.. BBS are overrated anyways

Those are for a G35/G37 sedan and will not work with your car. Too narrow and the offset is too high.

The only way you could run them is to have them relipped like this:

808E90 l LTBMW ... Custom one off BBS LM-Rs

Stick to something like 19x9.5 (+22 or lower) in the front and 19x10.5 (+22 or lower) as a baseline then the specific design of the wheel will dictate what you can run

1-piece wheels are normally easier run, multi-piece (like those LM's) have more variables that need to be taken into account
