BBS LM: Reverse mount and effect on ET
Hope someone out there can help me with a quick answer:
I have ordered new BBS LM's for my Carrera S, but realized that I might want to change the order to be able to reverse mount the centres and still get the desired ET. So could anyone who has already done this estimate the effect on ET that reverse mount will have? From pictures I have seen posted in various threads here at RL, it seems to be around 10-20 mm, but that's a rather big spread to go by when deciding. So for example, if I have a front rim with ET55, then after reverse mounting the ET will be....well, what? 45? 50? Anyone...? Yes, I'm a tad **** when it comes to wheel fitment, but I know I'm not alone. :-)
Extremely grateful for any clarification I can get, since I need to decide rather soon....!
Mike
Ps. I reckon ET effect will be the same regardless of rim height (18 or 19), but for the sake of completeness I have 19's on order.
