I'm looking to pick up a set of 19x10 +25 / 19x11 +25 BBS LMs.

I've got an AP Racing Radi-CAL 380MM Front/Rear BBK.

Has anybody had any luck running a StopTech ST60 or a BREMBO 380MM on the 19x10 +25 as a Front?

BBS says it doesn't clear, but, if it's the matter of adding like a 3MM spacer, that's not a big deal to me.

I know somebody previously had a set of 10MM Spacers on the 10 +25 with a 380MM BREMBO, but he said that he used the Spacers for fitment purposes, not for brake clearance, and he never tried to see if they'll clear without the spacer themselves.

Just want to make sure before I pull the trigger.

I know the 19x9.5 +32 will clear, but, the 10 +25 has a 1/2" Larger Lip, coupled with the fact I can reverse mount it still for another 1/2", which, I believe looks better.

Also, allows me to run a 275/30/19 on the 19x10, which I think is a better match than the 19x9.5.

Thanks in Advance!

Be sure to post photos of this wheel setup. That's the fitment all LMs should've come with for this car!

Will do after!

BBS has confirmed through their website that the 19x10 +25 DOES clear the OEM Front Brakes. Just, as to whether it clears a BBK, they say no. But, if the matter is something like a 3MM Spacer, that's not an issue at all.

Not to mention, my AP RadiCAL Calipers are different than StopTech/BREMBO, so who knows!

I'm scheduled for a test fit with my shop next week, they have a 1M there that uses the 19x10 +25 as a rear, so I'll throw that on the front and see how it is.

What suspension?

Ohlins R&T on the way.

But, will be test fitting with OEM Suspension, since the coils haven't arrived yet.

I actually plan on reverse mounting the 19x10 LMs if they clear, putting them right at about a 19x10 +12 offset in the front.

From what I can see, a 275/30/19 with about -3 front camber should clear it just right.

Inner clearance against coilovers is always an issue with wide front wheels. You should be ok with Ohlins. 19x10 +12 and 275 is aggressive!

bbs lms? 20" look better imo with this wheel.

20's look too large on the E90 for my taste! Would be perfect on an E92 though with the larger rear fenders.

Aren't we the ones with larger rear fenders? 20's on an e90

[becausephilchow]

E90s are a bit wider, but, I feel that 20s on the rear of the E90 look a little too large for my liking.

They look fine on the E92s though. The visual aspect of it.

20s also only allow you to run a 255/285 setup, whereas I would like to retain the original 20MM stagger, and I'd also like to run a 275/295 setup also.

These HRE's would fit over your brakes. I feel like everyone does LM's, these HRE's would look sweet!

Unless you have a set of these in 19x10/19x11 +25, along with them being in the Sub 5K Range shipped...sadly not an option

[becausephilchow]

Update for those interested.

The 19x10 +25 LM, does in fact, clear my AP RadiCAL 380MM Brakes. By a hair, maybe 2-3mm, but they clear without spacers.

^ yes!! can't wait to see them!

I'm debating on the 10s still.

19x11 +25 come factory reverse mounted from BBS
19x10 +25, does not come factory reverse mounted from BBS.

I test fitted it today, a reverse mounted 19x10 +25, which puts it at about 19x10 +12 offset. I'm worried that it won't fit with 275/30/19 Michelin PSS on the fronts.

I have Ground Control Camber Plates & Ohlins R&T on the way. I don't mind running -3 up front...but any thoughts? I want to believe that it'll fit, but, it seems like it's going to be quite tight/close.

[6ixSpd]

Nice! Can't wait to see this.

[Tufosi]

nice... post a pic when you have them on.

I have the exact same wheel set up, 19x10/19x11 +25 all around. Not sure how the Ohlins are but the 19x10 +25 rubbed my KW Clubsport spring and spring perch, up front. 5mm spacer fixed that. But just giving you a heads up, you may or may not run into that issue.

[Tufosi]

This is probably a dumb question. But what do you guys mean when you say reverse mount the wheel? And why would you want to do this?.... just trying to learn

Ohlins i've read should be ok. But thanks, will keep this in mind.

For the majority of BBS LMs, the face is mounted on "Top" of the barrel lip, and then secured with bolts. You can also take hte bolts off, and mount the face on the "Bottom" of the barrel lip. This will lower oyur offset by roughly about 12.5MM~, and then will also provide you with 1/2" larger lip on the LM.

As for those wonder if it's safe, BBS actually sells certain configurations in this fashion. The 19x11 +25 is reverse mounted from factory.

[Tufosi]

thanks for the explanation.... that make sense now.

Did you get the wheels mounted yet? any pics?
