18 what? OEM rims? If so, not a problem at all. The OEM rims are 9 inchers and et39, so you have plenty of room. I wouldn't go past 275s on the rears. 285s do fit, but the handling suffers.

Even at stock height, do you ever throw the car at all? If so, it will rub. It won't do damage, but it will rub. It is all up to you on if it matters. Rubbing really bothers me, so I don't do it.

BBS won't offer any kind of staggered offsets? I know I shave some of the face of the OEM rims, but i don't know if you can on the LMs.

Drives Slowly
Thanks Jangs,

By "throw" do you mean, run hard into a corner?

Sounds like the 285s may be a crap-shoot with my set-up. I really would like to fill-out the stance of my car but I may be stuck with 245 and 275.

BBS can give you anything you want for a price but with their recent bankruptcy announcement I think I'm stuck with what I got!!

Yeah, I do mean run hard by throw. If so, it ain't a crap shoot. It will rub. It may only rub slightly, but it will rub.
