Looks Hawt. BBS tends to play it safe and stick to factory offsets alot. I'm sure this plays into the liablility aspect since they have a high reputation and don't want to risk it in any way.

I had to do the same with spacers for my BBS RS-GT's.

BTW, if you want new bolts for 2 or 3 piece BBS wheels, they won't even sell it to you directly because of the liability factor. Ask me how I know...

I got rear 50et 19x11 and front 55et 19x8.5
Had to run 15mm spacer on all corners to get it decent looking.
I was disappointed with the offsets from BBS they looked really weak out of the box.
How do I get the BBS lug nuts is it true you have to convert to studs
and order from Japan?
Thanks

how did you get the 265/35/18 onto the 11x18 rims? i had my dealer try and they couldn't. cost me a bunch.

we concluded that only 285 or 295 tires would fit

That's because you didn't hit the Mexican joints in the hood. They're use to dealing with major stretch...

lol it fits fine with an Awesome Strech, You need a Experianced and Competent Tire Shop to do it...

The Term for this Fitment is called "Strech & Poke" :P
