Default BBS LM-R seat type (ball or conical)
Just ordered a set of LM-Rs.. I believe there conical seat but want to confirm. Have seen a few posts where all BBS Porsche wheels are cone.

Thanks...

The LM-R for Porsche uses the OEM floating ball seat bolt.

OE Porsche lug bolts have an R14 ball seat radius with floating seats. Just make sure the lugs you get have a ball seat with R14 radius. The access hole diameter in the wheel is 30mm.
