20mm spacers for the front. Back dimensions are identical to your previous R10. I don't think it's gonna work, Van, at least for the front.

Thanks for the quick reply and confirmation Joe Just curious, is it the offset of the front wheels that's what throwing it off?

38mm pushes the wheel too far inside. For a 8.5" wheel look for around 12 - 20mm offset. Avoid any offset 25mm or bigger.

Hey freed0m, these are the offsets for my wheels:

20 X 9.0 +25A
20 X 10.0 +19O

Before when I made real sharp turns, the inside of wheel would slightly rub up against the coilover. I used a 15mm spacer on the front to push it out flush with my rear because it sat in a little too far and as a result, no more rubbing. You'll probably need a more aggressive offset anyways to clear your BBK's.

I tried a 10mm spacer on the rear, but had severe rubbing issues. I think it could come out maybe another 5mm, but I just left it because as of right now, I have absolutely no rubbing in the back. I'm considering running 255/30 and 295/25 on my next set of tires.

Good luck with your wheel shopping. Get the BBS LM Champion Editions!
