from what i can tell inside my car, i would say no at full turn...theres no harsh rubbing but there is soft rubbing on the liner...odd thing is that this is going straight...but its hardly even noticeable...the rear does rub tho on some big jumps and going into a driveway...

Thanks for the advice... I actually just finished reverse mounting them today. Polishing them was fun...

haha. I'll get some pics up soon. I think I need to remove my rear spacers now looks like a VW with all the poke.

Thanks everyone for the comments. I have some more stuff for the engine bay coming soon!

I've always loved the LM's even though I use to rock them on my M3.

I'll hook you up if the price is right

Fenders are getting rolled tomorrow... Thinking about getting my "nose chopped"... I have a good body shop right in town, and they quoted me $150-$200 for the chop. All said and done paint etc. Any opinions?

sweet! another LM owners with another reverse mounted setup! congrats!
yours are the one with +35 right? i saw spacers. ha

i wanted the +35 as well since the reverse mounting process will end up a more rational offset comparing to mine. (+20 ones with reverse mounted.) but, sadly +35 won't clear brembo's.

good looking car
