Default Another Will It Fit ?

Hi everybody !

I'm after a beautiful set of BBS LM in 19"... I know that it's too much but it's not the question here

Spec : 9.5X18 ET25

I know that I'll need fender work But will it fit and what kind of tire size can I use ? I thought 225 front and 255 for the rear or 265 if it can fit ....

I also have an AP Racing BBK ... Don't know if it will clear.

Thanks for your help !

that's an ultra low offset for that width. you're gonna have to roll and pull ur fenders while running a good deal of negative camber and stretch ur tires. 225s might clear if you're not too low

Offset is way to low unless you are planning to do a wide body. You will need rear over fenders and different front fenders to even have a hope o fitting those with the tires you listed. Otherwise you will have to run the stupidly small tires Andrew mentioned and that will ruin your grip and handling.

Ignoring the crazy offset. 275 will fit fine on a 9.5. U could even get a 285 on it if u want.

Plan on selling them then

I have LM's (18's), the rears are 9.5 +55 with a 265/35 tire. I tried to reverse mount them (effectively making the offset ~+42) and I was rubbing bad, couldn't even drive the car.

Bumper tabs are relocated and fenders are rolled and pinched. Lowered on PSS9's...dialed in as much neg camber as possible with the stock hardware, no go.

Crazy low offset...you'll need overfenders. Happy selling.

Herrafrush is not cool anymore. Don't ruin what the car is made to do.
