Wheel Fitment Help ASAP

[09mageec]

So i've come across a very good deal on some brand new, "used" BBS LM reps. I would have to pull on them tomorrow...

Sizes are, staggered 18x8, 18x9 (et40 with 7" of backspacing on all 4). Will these clear stock brake setup and suspension??

Yeah, thats what i'm going off of. I'm just nervous that the back of the wheel wont clear the coils with 7" of back-spacing

Back-spacing on the style 135
Front- 6.31
Rear- 6.69

With the coils being smaller than the stock suspension setup, will they give me even more clearance for the added back spacing?

Go to www.willtheyfit.com, enter the wheel diameter, width, offset and the tire sizes for current setup and what you plan to use. The green and orange lines will give you how much the different poke (outside toward fender edge) and jut (inside toward strut) measurements, then go out to your car and see if you have that additional room (it'll only be a couple of mm of difference).

These should fit fine with more positive poke and a little less jut than stock setup.

Thank you! Its like I know the answer to the question i'm asking, yet I need that extra reassurance. The opportunity presented itself in such an ironic way just yesterday, so my internal caution flag is up, haha

Go for it! What's the worst that can happen, you mount them and down the road grow to not like them, relist here and someone will pick them up.

Exactly, haha. I've wanted "LM's" since I got the car in 2011, so i'll prob love them... I just wish I could get the flawless m parallels that that are sitting in my basement to fit.. They are off the e39 and have that one-of, tiny BMW wheel hub size and that insane offset..
