Wheel Directory: BBS LM 18x8.0 +50

[stoneman155]

These are real genuine BBS LM's with a Diamond Black face, 5x114.3 Bolt pattern, and ET50. :happy0180:

The front wheel adapters from 5x100 to 5x114.3 are 15mm thick and the rears are 25mm thick. Tires are Yokohama S.Drive 225/40/18

Snazzy. What brand adapters did you use? I'm trying to convince myself that some STI BBS (08+ style, 18x8.5) are a good idea on the BRZ, but they're 5x114.3.

I had the adapters customer made through http://www.motorsport-tech.com/ they made them hub centric and wheel centric. Which was nice because the backside of the LM is an 82mm centerbore. They also were less expensive than project kics and were super helpful, great customer service.

The only issue is, if the wheels don't have holes inbetween the lug holes on the backside of the wheel, you have to cut the lugs off for anything smaller than a 25mm adapter. So the front lugs on my car are cut at 14mm in length to allow the 15mm adapter to sit flush against the backside of the wheel.

That looks awesome. I am thinkng of getting the adapters also because I am having a really hard time finding Volk GTS in the size I want at 5x100. If I was to go with the apapters how does it change the offest of the wheel?

The width of the adapter in mm changes the offset by the same amount. Example: My wheels are ET50, with a 25mm adapter in the rear, making the rear an ET25.

I apologize guys, I never weighed the wheels and tires before I put them on the car. However, I can say, they aren't light haha

[Shiftatredline]

Is that your DD? Do you have any concerns performance wise running the adapters during say very spirited driving, track, autox, etc?

Hardrace does have their replacement hubs available now, but I haven't seen any forsale in the US. They are about $1K, although I think that's including longer wheel studs.

They look just as nice as mine but mines just has more lip and the oem bolt pattern. But Another FR-S in the BBS gang, welcome man! they look good in diamond black. I wish we lived close by so we could check out each others cars & wheels. Good stuff man!
