I'll post up more pics soon, once I drop it a tad more. Might get some heat for the slight tire stretch but will run through them for the season.

I'm curious about the 7mm spacers up front. I've been thinking about doing the same. Can you post some closeups so I can see what the fitment looks like?

Use Microsoft office picture manager for say a JPEG file. Select edit picture --> resize --> predefined with height. Best ones are either:

Large - 1024 x 768 or Small 800 x 600.

My wheels are 18x9/11, would that help you?
I'll get some pics this weekend.

This thread has tipped me over the edge... wheel choice made!

Can anybody recommend ideal offsets for BBS LM on a NB in 8J and 10J?

I really like the look of ABCar's gold BBS LMs...

Cheers!
