BBS LM, optimal size for my 435i coupe?

maqe · 01-24-2015, 10:58 AM

I'm looking for the perfect setup for my new 435 coupe. The car is modified with coilovers and I'm thinking about getting a set of 19" or 20" BBS LMs. What is the optimal size and ET for this car?

The standard 19's & MP 20's are 8j ET36 front and 8.5j ET47 rear.

You could go up to ET24 front and ET32 rear for the wheel spacer look.

19's or 20's is up to you, 20's for looks or 19's for slightly better comfort.

I'm running BBS LM in 20x8.5" ET32 and 20x10"ET 45 on my F31 and the fit is flush with the fender. Should fit well in a F32.

You could go up to ET48 front and ET62 rear for the wheel spacer look.

Wheel spacers affects the offset in the opposite direction.

12mm front and 15mm rear spacers on OEM wheels results in the following actual offsets:
F: 8" ET24 (stock ET36)
R: 8.5" ET32 (stock ET47)

If your post mysteriously disappears, be sure to check the wheel and tire sub forum. Just sayin'

I'm looking for a distributor in Europe selling BBS LM (20x8.5 et32, 20x9.5 ET37 - LM229, LM230) but I have a hard time finding someone? Anyone have tips on where I can order the them?

i'm running BBS LM reps:

F: 19x8.5 et+23 (effective w/ 12mm spacer)
R: 19x9.5 et+35 (effective w/ 5 mm spacer)

tires still tucked, rims flush, with no rubbing, lowered 2.5"-3". BBS LM's need to be aggressive to look good.
