A few options but some are Japan only so require special order.
Fronts
19x8.5” ET32
19x9” ET42 would need spacers IMO
Rear
19x9.5” ET38
19x10” ET50 spacers not needed but could use 5mm.
The first from each would run stock tires.
The second 265/295 combo would be money.
I’d need to double check front clearance of CCB though.
20” options aren’t as good as rears would be 20x10” ET38 and a bit aggressive.
just pm me next time so you get a faster reply

8.5" ET32 and 9.5" ET32 are in stock in diamond silver.
20x8.5" ET38 and 20x10" ET38 are in stock as well. 5mm spacer and 255/30 and 285/25 would work but I have a feeling you're looking for 19", right?
Now I know that you'd like the LM. LM-R are an option as well or a custom multipiece wheel that looks similar to LM (but I'm pretty sure of that response),
But I also have my CI-R that I'm taking off to install Volks so that's also an option if you want.

I thought I had recently seen some new part numbers from BBS on the LM. They used to have a 20" fitment, but had then gone into a posture that they didn't think you should use them on 211, so they dropped them. I don't know what their thinking is now. Having been a BBS dealer many years ago, I can tell you that those kinds of "'mood swings" were not unusual..
That being said, I am down with a set of 20" LM.s , so if someone sees a glimpse, let me know...

Yep, you are right, as the discount structure for dealers is not as generous as stuff that is not USA stock.
Still, the most beautiful wheel in the world.

You will need the help of a small BBS dealer to get something like this done. Or try calling them in Braselton and see if they will help you....

I have confirmed that the 20x8.5" ET38 fits without spacer but I'd recommend doing a 5mm pfs spacers and then the 20x10" ET38. These are in stock.
There is a 20x9.5" ET36 option that could work but we'd need to get drawings from Japan and then it's a special order item.
Now I know it's not the same as the genuine LMs, but BC Forged have a very similar style and can be made to custom sizes that would allow to run a proper tire size and be made to have full silver that would look very close. But I know it's not the real deal. Problem is the CCBs. Just trade them with me and it will be all sorted for you.

Their 19" cast fit, like the OE wheels do. Some of there forged one piece have different barrels.

This is a bit more complicated than I initially anticipated. The other option was doing a custom set of wheels through CCW but I would like to explore all possible options on the original/traditional BBS LM first.
