Hey just picked up some BBS LM's specs are as follows....

Front: 18x8 +35 with 225/40/18 Neova
Rear: 18x9 +35 with 265/35/18 Neova

I'm already rolled in the front and rear with the rear fender tab relocated and rear bumper shaved...

How much more needs to be done to be sitting on the ground again (Hoping I dont need +10mm front fenders or rear over fenders)....

I plan on going lower than this (my current setup)

Methinks you're going to have a fairly difficult time fitting the 265 on the rear. I suppose you could pull the everloving hell out of your rear fenders, but be prepared to possibly have to get some bodywork done to clean it up.

I don't think it'd be nearly as bad if you went 255/35 in the rear.

As far as the front, 8 wide? I wouldn't think it'd be too bad tbh. Maybe try test fitting and see how much clearance you have? If you're already rolled and everything, then afaik it'll be really flush, but *should* fit up quite nicely. If not, just do a good pull on your fronts.

standard offsets are for average joe's...low offsets are for the guys who want their cars to be different than the norm....And theres guys running way crazier offsets than mine...Why do you think there are so many companies that manufacture +10mm front fenders and rear fender flares...Sounds like you should have bought a miata lol.gif

as long as your bumper tab has been cut out, and you got a decent roll/pull in the rear, you will be able to fit it fine with some camber. car looks good.

is your car really drivable? I mean REALLY drivable or is it just for hard parking? Just curious? Oh the wheels are great don't get me wrong but being that low seems like you go thru lips alot...
