I really want to reverse mount my LM's do I just simply unbolt them and mount from the inside?

 

BBS LM 17x8 17x9 +40 all around

 

^yup just use an 8mm 12 point socket and 10mm 12 point socket to remove the bbs nuts and bolts and clean everything up. then put the face on the inside (make sure the contact surfaces are clean to avoid scratching the face in case you want to go back to front mount in the future). i would suggest maybe applying some kind of anti seize compound between the interfacing surfaces to allow easy removal in the future and also to minimize friction (and thus scratching) between the contacting surfaces. then just put on all the nuts and bolts in a star pattern. make sure you use loctite blue on the threads of the bolt/nut and sources say torque it to 21ft/lbs. ask around and people use different torque specs. i think there's a thread about this.

 

torque to 25 in a star pattern, it will change the offset by 15mm

 

what is reverse mount?!

 

no need to remove tires first, right?

 

no, but you usually need to refinish the lip unless they are new or near new... or recently fully polished.

 

LM's faces mount completely flush to the barrels so you can un-bolt the face and rebolt it behind the mounting plate for a offset -15mm more aggressive.

 

^nice bro. did you get the lips clearcoated too?
it's a pita to constantly polish the lips once they're refinished like that.
polished lips are bling bling yo. love it with the gold and red combo.
the way LMs come machined and clearcoated is the sex.

 

yes, they were fully polished in and out.
