Please HELP:

BBS LM's for the NSX, are these the right sizes:

18x8.5 front (+38mm offset)
19x10 Rear (+40mm offset)

My car is on TEIN Flex coilovers and I am hoping that this is the correct size without having any issues on my slammed NSX.

Thank you.

Your rears are probably ok. I'm running that same size but at +45 and it already sticks out a little. +40 will stick out 5mm more.

the fronts is really where I think you'll have a problem. I'm running 18x8 +45 and i'm already rubbing on a 225 tire. I'm trying to switch to a 215 at some point.

Both your sizes are really aggressive but i'm more worried about your front. That's like Jerry's offsets I think. Depends on the look you want I suppose. You can ride aggressive offset but run a skinny tires to pull off that "hella flush" look.

Regan, thanks for the help. Unfortunately these LM's are hard to get but I found these exact sizes. However a local shop tells me that 18X8.5 will have too much negative camber and he does NOT recommend it. The rears I believe will be fine.

Thanks Regan.

The rears will be fine!

fronts will have to go 215 on tires. might have the stretch look...but from what you showed me jc, you should be fine

Go see Donald & David over at Tire Central on Walnut Grove if you don't already have a contact for tires. You can tell them I sent you

That was my same thought too.

I just bought that set from ghaun and so far the experience has been great. The guy even called me at home to update me.

I had 17/18 LMs on my car and loved them but ifyou have BBK aspirations they won't work, which was why i sold them off. I'm planning to use the Advan RS's as my street wheels and keep my Comptech Tecnomagnesios for the track.

I suppose they'll work with spacers. I just prefer not to have them.

nice choice with the LMs. They're my Holy Grails. I have a set on my little Scion tC. I wanted LMs for my SC400 but couldn't find a used set with the specs i wanted, so I bought 19x10 LockSmice mesh wheels. I'm planning to get LMs for my Camry.

Any ideas on the best place to buy a set of 17/18 LM's for my 91 NSX?
