BBS LM

hamet · 11-06-2006, 08:18 AM

Guys,

i've finally went ahead and bought myself a set of 18" BBS LM. i know 19" would be so much nicer.. but i got myself a really sweet deal.

they are 18x8.5 ET34 and 18x9.5 ET30

hope they fit without any issues. I wanna find out if i should go with 225/40 for front and 255/35 for rear OR 235/40 + 265/34 ?

anyway here's the pic of the wheels

ud probably want a 235/45 up front and a 265/40 in the rear!!! with 18's u dont have to have such low profile so id stay in the 40's

Very nice, Cant wait to see them on. Nice choice.

265/40?!? Holy crap that's 5% off the stock OD! 265/35, if they make em, are going to be only 1% off. I'd stick with stock OD's as much as possible.

Same with 235/45 ... too tall. 235/40 will be much closer to stock.

if you go 18s i would defintely go with the sme set up as the 162s setup. nice wheels.

SuperSport · 11-06-2006, 12:46 PM

Nice wheels, make sure to post some pics after they are mounted

stressdoc · 11-06-2006, 01:24 PM

thats about 23lbs?

lcrain · 11-06-2006, 08:27 PM

Damn i cant wait to see these on the car. I like the look of 18s on this car with some fat tires to fill the fenders.

Driv3r · 11-06-2006, 08:28 PM

looks good

Yes.

shragon · 11-10-2006, 11:27 AM

nice wheels, congrats. i'd do 235/40-18 and 265/35-18.

kevE90 · 11-12-2006, 04:22 AM

Lets see those pics. I wanna see how the 18s look. Like you said 19 would look nicer but for me 18 seems more practical for driving around here.

hamet · 11-12-2006, 08:42 AM

sorry guys, wheels are still not mounted on the car yet. i've ordered the tires, now awaiting for them

Driv3r · 11-12-2006, 10:59 AM

hamet · 11-29-2006, 08:02 AM
