How difficult to fit?

EGO_CHECK · 06-11-2014, 03:02 PM

I found a set of Linea Corse BBS Reps locally and I was wondering if they would fit my 1er. Specs are as follows:
19x10 et37 19x8.5et30

Sorry for the NOOB question. Thanks for any insight.

Offsets in general are a bit on the low side....

The front should be alright....especially when you dial in camber

The rear....might be a little hard with the offset for a x10'' width...

But if you stretch tires + camber + roll or pull....almost anything is possible lol

If you want a straight bolt on setup then this is not it. Like the post above me said it will take some major work. If you want a straight bolt 19 inch staggered setup go with a 19x8.5 40-45 offsets and a 19x9.5 50-60 offset.

I agree with this post about it not being a straight bolt on setup. But it would not be major work, you could get away with the 19x10 +37 rears with probably only a roll, maybe a slight pull depending on how low you are.

@addict ran 18x10 +40 CCW LM-5s on his car with only a roll and he was on ST coilovers and then switched to bags. You will need to add some camber, but it would be within spec unless you want some poke.

Definitely not a bolt on, straight forward/no rub fitment.

The rear is going to require around 2.5 degrees of camber. You're also going to need fender work.

The fronts are going to fit when the wheel is straight, however they are going to rub like hell when you're turning. You'd basically be guaranteed to have to pull the front fenders and do some trimwork in the wheel well. You'll also have to dial that camber out pretty hard and throw some 215's on there.

It's doable, but understand that you're REALLY compromising on ride quality and you will 100% have to modify the fenders and camber to make these wheels fit.

Thanks for all the input. I'm not going to sacrifice ride quality for looks. It appears the cost savings of buying this set will be out weighed by getting them to fit. Ill just keep looking for a better option. Thanks again
