BBS LM's on my 2002 ? Input on wheels/tire sizes please !

[Modernceo]

Hey guys,
Im getting the itch to get some wheels again, and I really like the look of the BBS LM wheels. Im curious, anyone have photos of these wheels they can share on an NSX ? I saw a photo on a yellow NA1 Nsx earlier and they looked really good.

Am I right on the tire sizes ? I am concerned about the tire matching up with the wheel sizes, ie, 17X7.5 front, and 18X9 rear.

215/40/17
265/35-18

Gold 17/18 LM's with stock ride height:

There is a thread in the picture section, by 'bossman nsx', with 18/19's on his '02 conversion - the 18/19's look good, but I would be concerned with bending them (given the limited side wall) - also, note, the bbs lm is not really forged, it is 'spin cast'.

Agreed. I dont want 18/19's as it wont give me much of a sidewall to deal with potholes, bumps, etc here in Houston.

I just called TireRack for kicks, they are out of the BBS LM's for 8-12 weeks ! Grr !

not my taste looks to stockish to me...just my .02

VOLK GT-C in black is hot to me, or a nice 5 speed set chrome is nice with deep lips..

Stock, sorry man but you need to get your eyes checked out. I do agree that the Volk is nice, but the BBS LM's are one of my favorites. I have the 17/18 BBS RSII, which although a little dated looking, the offset and widths compliment my car perfectly.

That's the best part...these wheels look like they should have always been on the car from the factory. I love the LM wheel on the NSX.

I gotta say... I really like these. Looks very tasteful and classy. Always have liked BBS. Very nice stuff.

Here is my car on 18/19 BBS LM's

Specs are 18x8 Fronts
19x9 Rears

I personally feel that 17/18 inch combo in Lm's look too small. The ride quality is not much different then my stock 17's..

Good luck!

I second the notion that 17/18 LMs are too small. BossMan's car looks freakin HARDCORE!
