Just got a set of BBS LMs and want to mount the hub on the inside of the lip.

[DRIFTER]

spec: 17x8, 35 offset / 18x9, 35 offset

I want to mount the wheel hub on the inner side of the lip. I have seen a lot of people do this. What can I expect to gain in off set? What seals the wheel? Anyone know the torque specs on the bolts? I know I may have to go with a narrower tire in the front to clear. Any links to other threads on how to do this?

This is what I got.

This is what Im looking to do.

I did it to mine.

You will gain approximately 10-14mm in offset. I've never measured mine so I don't know for sure.

No sealing needed.

19 ft lbs of tq with a dab of blue Loctite. You will need a 8mm & 10mm 12pt socket. You will need to remove the old Loctite.

What offset did you start with? They look sick by the way.!

Anymore pix of your car, larger ones?

My old wheels are lookin good on your car!

There is no freaking way you can run +10-14mm on the front. Maybe on the rear....and then you'll still be sticking out way far. I was getting pretty flush with that 5mm spacer.

In case you were wondering what they were replaced with...

I may turn down the fronts a Lil. Roll the front fenders or get the SOS front fenders. I know the rears will work with no problems but the front is what I'm concerned with. I don't want to stretch the tire out of its safe mounting sizes.

By the way your wheels look great.
