Don't Lambo's use 10 inch rear wheels for putting down 640hp? Seems a bit like massive overkill to me for 200whp...

I'd keep both sets and swap and change as I pleased!

I'm running 9.5" rears at the moment with 255's fitted and its not really tramliney but I still need to get the car Geo'd. I'm guessing what little tramlining there is at the moment will be gone once thats done.

IMO 10" is too wide and the tyres you want to run will look too stretched.

Keep what you've got, or change to something with 'better' widths and offset.

Chris.
Good advice from Chris; the proposed size is way too big for the car.

For future reference, its worth knowing that all BBS LMs are forged and are made in Japan.

I ran a set of LMs 8J et42 and 9J ET 40 - the best split rims out there.

Why are they to big?

Loon can you back up your statement?

Cheers

The white ones by far. I've never been a massive fan of the LM style personally.

I'd keep the ones you've got personally. They look really good.

I like the works, but im a white wheel/black car fan.

LM's are great but im just not sure on the colour of them on a black car. they would look good all polished.
