Where Can I Buy A Barrel For BBS LM's

From my other thread, I got feedback from some members that I could buy barrels to convert my BBS LM 19x10 to a 19x11. I've searched the forums and the internet to no fruition. I've called Bob Woodman Tires and BBS only to find out that they don't carry barrels for two-piece wheels and/or don't stock them. Anyone else have a source for barrels?

Some other questions.

1. Anyone run a 305/25/19 or 315/25/19 on a 10" rim? I might just do that until I get the 11" rim.

2. BBS makes the same 19x11 in two different sizes. One with a +63 offset and the other a +50 offset.
If the +63 offset too aggressive? I don't want to run spacers as I've heard they will cause the wheel bearings to fail quicker.
If I get the +63 offset, will I have to roll fenders?

Thanks Guys.

you may have to get custom barrels made then if bbs doesn't sell them

The lower the numerical number, the more outward the wheel will sit on the hub.

sounds too complicated for wheels that are fairly easy to sell and source. why not just get another set for ur car? i remember one of the guys from Tirerack, i think Damon, he could source barrels when i was looking for a new one. u could also try USA Wheels in Fairfield, NJ

if I'm correct you can't get barrels from BBS.

you will have to refinish or get custom or get a new wheel
