Focker-out 0 Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 I am totally gutted, have had some 17" BBS LMs lined up for my car for months, arranged the refurb the lot, then got a trial fitting of them tonight and............ they looked pants, too narrow only being 7" wide and coming from 8" D90s it looks totally wrong!!So i have a dilemma, i tried some ZW1s that were waiting to be fitted to a C vr6, and they looked loads better, but does anyone know if they will be ok on std front arches and rolled rears??

kalv 0 Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 LM's are tastyI You done a standard refurb or polished/colour?Any pics? Link to post Share on other sites
jaysVR6 2 Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 Depends on how wide they are and how low your running the car. I would bank on needing your arches rolled though. Mine wouldn't fit without rolled arches but they are 8.5's. Link to post Share on other sites
purple highline monster 0 Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 i had 8 j RH ZW1`s martin on standard arches all round!! and it was the same height it is now (see pics mate) and i got only a very very minor rub every now and then on very big bends or really bad bumps, never rubbed enough to do any damage mate, as for The LM`s i would love them! but then i am a BBS slut arent I [lightbox=../../e107_files/public/1176912121_2067_FT170388_100_0091.jpg][/lightbox] Link to post Share on other sites
mike 6 Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 cant you just put spacer on them? tis a shame that....ZW1s are a nice second choice tho Link to post Share on other sites
pRot3us 0 Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 Yeah, I was going to suggest spacers.Not liking LMs - expensive mistake to make, doh! :-| Link to post Share on other sites
Focker-out 0 Posted April 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 They were going to be re furbed with a mirror polished lip and Porsche seal grey centres and would have looked stunning, dont get me wrong if i could get 8x17" LMs i would have themThe reason they look pants on my car is they are only 7" wide, and i can space them out but wont be able to get the stretch that im after with the tyres!!ZW1s i have always lusted after, i hope they look ok when fitted up Link to post Share on other sites
mike 6 Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 i think my bbs are only 7in wide...kinda know what yo mean. was parked next to vr6rich at u-dubs and his zw1s looked so much better on the exact same profile tyres. Link to post Share on other sites
Focker-out 0 Posted April 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 Iys not just the stretch, the rear bumper is a US spec one and loads bigger than a euro item, amd i really need 8s as a minimum because of that.After taking the D90s off and fitting the LMs i knew then it was a bad idea to buy them, the D90s looked 100 times better Link to post Share on other sites
mike 6 Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 wana swap for some RC's lol just refurbed. would love to see pics, cant imagine them lookin that bad Link to post Share on other sites
Paul1982 0 Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 Totally Shocked - I love the LM's but didn't know they did them in 7" :-S - Personnally i'd try and get 16" x 8.5" LM's if i could find them. Link to post Share on other sites
