BBS LM Fitment 996TT | Needs Proper Lugs/Spacers

Dear 6speeders,

I just ordered a set of BBS LM in 19x11 50offset, 19x8.5 55 offset and want to put them on the car so they sit flush. I am lowered 1.2" on KW V3's. I would love to have the wheels at a 12, but they only make an 11. Regardless, what are you guys using for:

A. Spacers
B. Locking Lug nuts

I really appreciate the help.

thank you in advance,


Edward

Cascade,

I have the following set:
  • Front (8.5 X 19 ET 53)
  • Rear (12 X 19 ET 51)
I installed H&R 14mm on front & 7mm on rear. I should have gone 14mm all around and will probably do so in the near future.



I hope this helps,
Rich

Im running LM's with ET50 front and rear. I have fitted a 8mm front and 15mm rear spacer and the wheels now sit almost flush.

No i havent rolled them but while taking those pics a couple of minutes ago, i noticed slight marking on one of my rear tires so it must have made light contact at some point.

Im running the same.
Have just had a look at the arch and it looks like it has touched on a bracket for the rear bumper rather than the arch lip.
