So I recently found out one piece of information... BBS America wont sell new assembly bolts, my only option is aftermarket. They also don't approve of people flipping the faces...
I emailed an aftermarket company who does sell bolts, and guarantees the strength is equal to BBS OEM.... However they ALSO do not approve of flipping the faces..
Frankly Im unsure now.. I dont feel like rebuilding my own wheels now... Yet Im not sure who I can trust to properly rebuild them as well. (go local or ship them off?)
Am I being over-paranoid? It does not sound safe anymore to flip the wheels... At least the LMs... I guess the back of the barrel does not have a "groove" for the face to sit in like the front of the barrel does.
One side says "who cares, everyone does it" the other says "yes but.. monkey see, monkey do... Would you jump off the cliff too?"

hey guys i need a bit of help here. im going to put origin 20mm front fenders and 50mm rear overs on my fc. i want my tires to be tucked behind the fenders with about a 1" space between tire/fender. my question is what offsets would i need on the front and back? also i want my fronts to be no bigger than an 8.5 wheel width, backs 9.5. and will i need spacers or anything else to take into consideration? also i dont plan on cambering the back tires. but front ill have quite a bit of camber. thanks!

hey guys. i have a set of wheels available to me that i plan on using temporarily
there:
18x8.5 +35
18x9.5 +35
what size spacers should i use? id like them to fit under the stock fenders (its ok if i need to roll them) also keeping in mind, im running hsd hr coilovers and my current 17x7 +40 require slight positive camber to clear the springs. any thoughts?
edit: i should probably also mention that the car is lowered 1.5" id like to get another inch out of it (lower). eventualy i plan on buying some work meister rims. but thats when i can afford them.

Will fit perfectly. I have almost the same setup.
18x8/18x9 +35. 245/35 and 265/35 tires. Rolled the front fenders inside and that was it. Also have coilovers at a pretty low setting, rear camber bar, and practically 0 camber all around (Would like to go back and get some camber put back in for handling.)

i have almost the same setup with 33 and 38 offset you should be just fine with coilovers in the front and as long as you dont put 275's in the back you dont need any spacers or rolling the fender

hey i have two different setups that im looking at just looking for some input on how its going to fit.
first is 18x9 +25 in the front, 18x10.5 +20 in the rear
second is 18x8.75 +20 in the front 18x10.25 +20 rear
car is on coilovers pretty low, muffler sheilds have been removed, front fenders have a slight roll in them already and plan on pulling the rears out a little bit.

First time doing any kind of fitment so I need some advice,
Stock fenders, Megan racing street coils and 17x9 +22 all the way around.
From what I've compiled from going page by page my best bet is around,
235/40/17 F
255/40/17 R
I want it kind of low, but not low enough for super camber.
Anyone have any suggestions, different sizes, etc? I know it's kind of hard to et sizes as it all differs.
Thanks!

measure from the outside of the rim to the fender. that should give you an idea
