LMAO. I thought I was the only one that would be rocking LMs. Guess not



18 x 9 +20 also but with spacers.

 

more pics of the LM's :]

 

Its too bad you can't get the LM's in 18x9.5 in a decent offset. You have to order like 10 sets to have them made

 

Yep. BBS actually told me they need to have 36 wheels made in order for them to produce any custom sizing. BBS of japan offers the 9 +35 and the 9 +20 and 10 +20 but ended up being 1500+ each wheel with shipping and customs.

 

lol. thanks for the kind words.

no, i didn't change the outter lips. im not sure if you can do that on lm's, even not all of the rs's can change outter lips.

basically what i did is, i reverse the face so it can mounted in the back of the lips, which will give you 7mm more lip and 7mm lower offset. plus the way you mounted will be basically subtract the offset on the outside only. so let's do the math here:
+20mm - 7mm - 7mm(lip)=＋6mm offset.

i could be wrong here, but some guy at subaru forum did the same thing, and he actually measured it after reversed the face which is 13mm less offset than before.

thank you


yea yea. those are 18x9, just played with the offset.


thanks, i appreciate that


lol, i love ccw as well, but someone is rocking a set with perfect fitment, so i don't wanna be called copycat. both are decent wheels, i like the fact that ccw can make anything up to 16 inch wide.

i wish my car is not silver so i can have gold lm's

i still have to dial in the camber and get my fenders rolled. hopefully next week i guess?

 

Also there's a couple guys on Socal that been running Bbs lm's for a while now I'll post pics tomorrow

 

Best thread ever

 

You guys just take this a bit too far... 18x10 +15.. I mean come on... Wheels sticking out of fenders by an inch... Just waiting for someone to say he raised his car by a feet and put on some bigfoot radials and call it mega aggressive....

 

some of the wheels are starting to get a little out of hand. I like the bbs lm's, but those on the previous page are just too far out for me.

 

Maybe instead of hellaflush the new trend is hellabulged? Personally, I think his car looks really good from the side angle, but being able to see the outer lip of the rim sticking out of the tire when you look at the car from the front is not appealing to me. Now if he could widen out the fenders, and put some wider tires on those same wheels, then now we're talking a sweet set-up!

 

What size spacers are you running and why? Rubbing the brake calipers or just want a more aggressive look? What size tires are you planning on running?

 

Sounds like a group buy waiting to happen.

 

I have to agree with a few people on this as it seems that people are just decreasing the offset and not the width of the wheel. The LMs are awesome but really to push them out that far is a bit much. The VIII and IX can easily eat 18x9 wheels with a +29. With base offsetof +20 and decreasing it further by 14 mm is a bit much. Don't get me wrong, I like pushing the recommended offset some but to just push the wheel out with a spacer to make them clear the caliper is kinda pointless and to me is no longer aggressive. This also forces you to run a stretched tire.

as for thinkin that 18x10.5 +18 is too low offset I say no since a 10.5 inch wheel is over 40 mm wider than a 9" wheel so you get more wheel and tire under the wheel well. This also allows for a more functional tire as opposed super stretched ones. Stretched tires reminds me of the VW community who are notorious for stretching out tires to fit wider wheels.

Too each his own but running aggressive wheels sticking way of the car looks a like poop. This is my opinion b4 anyone says anything....more than a few people feel this way too.

 

 

it's that simple? just switch the lips? from inside to outsite? wow looks really good
