Does anyone on here have this set up?
If so any photos and fitment details?
Thanks.

Thanks for the help gentlemen. I appreciate it. I have a feeling sourcing these will be an issue.

There is also a 19x9.5" ET32 that would fit on the rear but would be aggressive. 6mm more than my LM-R.



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...

BBS USA doesn't stock or import many of the sizes that are made in Japan. They can be ordered through a dealer but often the pricing is a bit higher due to the additional cost in shipping if you don't want to wait on a standard shipment and waiting on standard shipments can be months late.

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.

Tirerack tells me they can't get them and there aren't any 19" BBS that will clear the factory CCB set up. 20" might. Is this true?

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....

Correct. Just confirmed. Just by a few millimeters though for the 2 piece forced.

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.

Strange as OEM 19"s clear them fine. So the face of the wheel hits the caliper?

Jimminez

Due to the forged barrel design, there is less clearance for the outer part of caliper as well as the front. The latter can be addressed with a spacer.
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.
