Aha, so this is primarily to ensure fitment of larger wheel and tire size, correct? I haven't paid close enough attention to this thread. On my stock wheel & tire setup, was investigating if I need more camber adjustment available to run Auto-X or track days in the wagon.
Those wheels are fantastic.

These would work for what you are looking for though.

That looks all kindsa awesome, Martin! Makes me wanna trade for a wagon! If you need new control arm, why not go adjustable? (If they make them). BTW, what are the specs on those wheels? (I am sorry if you mentioned them prior, I don't recall having come across them.

I installed adjustable top strut mounts. Didn't know I needed a new arm until I lowered it.
BBS CI-R with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S
20x9" ET38 plus 5mm PFS spacers (ET33 final) with 265/30R20
20x10" ET45 with 295/25R20
I am running the spacers because the LM-R I have inbound are 20x9" ET32 up front. Plan was to have the LM-R by this time and that looks to be delayed till July.

Otherwise I’d only have one set.

What was the story on the control arm? Damaged/worn already? How many miles/K are on this car? Ours has been a tad maintenance needy under 20K miles. Justifying the extended CPO warranty already (duh, right?)

Went to the other local dealer and they got it covered. I have my doubts that the first dealer did anything to get a response as second dealer said they saw no warranty submission for my VIN.
Car has 61k km (38k miles).

Wow is all I have to say. These just landed after a 5 month wait...and may not even use them.
Plan was to have them custom re-drilled to 5x112 from their native 5x120. If someone is interested, let me know.
20x9" ET32 and 20x10" ET45.

I personally have not. I have a guy lined up that specializes in BBS rebuilds that has done 120 to 112. Most of the time 114.3 to 112.

Do you have actual pics of your wheels to see how much lip there is. Also how much to redrill to 5x112.

As for price, he told me last year but don’t recall. I’ll get a current price. Does take time to get done though.
