BBS LM will they clear Z32 calipers?
hey got a question. Im about to pick up some BBS LM replicas for cheap. They are 18x8 with a +35mm offset. Will these sit pretty flush, or will i need a spacer. Also will these clear the Z32 calipers, or do i actually have to measure them when i get them?
Also what tire size woudl you reccommend for 18x8? i know 235/40/18 is perfect, but im looking for something a little wider, maybe along the lines of 245 or 255 if theyd fit.
thanks
chris

Chris,
That'll sit flush in the front. You might want a 5 or 10mm spacer for the rears if you want them to sit flush as well. I'd go with the 235's personally as there would be less sidewall flex but 245's work fine as well.
35ET SHOULD clear the Z32/Cobra setup if a spacer is needed probably no more than 5mm. Hard to say, depends on the face/spoke design, face/spoke thickness, amount of lip, etc. Measuring helps but best case would be to test fit everything. You need about 2 3/4" (5 1/4" distance from center) of clearance between the back of the spoke and the face of the rotor.
