looking at buying these :


BBS LM
8x18 et40 (front)
9x18 et42 (rear)


what tyre sizes would be recomended? i`d really prefer not to roll and fender pull if i dont have to

thanks

 

225/40, 255/35. A fender roll will probably be needed, especially if you are lowered.

 

You may be able to get away without a roll... but that means you'll need a lot of camber + stretched tires. Also a very important question is what suspension are you running?

 

ah! i forgot that bit, i`m running oem dampers with eibach springs.

if need be i can get the wheels milled up to 5mm if that will help adjust the offset to avoid having to roll.

its not that low on the eibachs

 

I have the LM's in 18X9.5 +55 in the rear with a 255 tire. Now for some odd reason my drivers side sits about 3/4" lower than stock. The passenger side a stock height did not rub... Granted I had my fenders rolled before hand, but my drivers side rubbed even with a roll and I had to cut my fender tab. But I am also not running any -camber its same a stock.. If that helps at all lol

 

just an update for future searchers.

on the rear i`m running a 225/40/18, slight stretch, no arch mods and no rubbing

currently the same on front with no rubbing, but i plan on changing to a 215/35/18 to give a bit of stretch with more arch room.


still running the eibach spring setup

 

Do you have any pics?

 

im running 225/35/18 up front with 18x8 +50 and 245/35/18 in the rears with 18x9.5 +55 for the rears and the rears rub alot.
