Timbo Slice Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Bumping this quick. Any update on how it rides with your wheel/tire/spacing specs? I just received my new wheels and want to mount them but am curious of your opinion of your setup. Any rubbing in the rear, front at full lock, etc? I'm basing my setup off of how your car performs as we have almost the exact same thing. Thanks! Edit: Also did you end up rolling your fenders?

vader70 Posted April 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 No rubbing issues in front with 10mm spacers. I needed spacers because of bbk Otherwise not necessary. At full lock it will rub a bit. Nothing to worry about in my opinion As for rears fenders are not rolled and with 20mm spacers it will rub with another person besides me over Larger bumbs . Otherwise no rubbing. I went with 20mm spacers to clear bbk and more importantly To have it look super flush. Otherwise you don't need that large of a spacer 10mm will do fine You coming to Davis this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So is it 15mm or 10mmspacers to clear the BBK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vader70 Posted April 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 To clear bbk you can get away with 10mm in front in rear you don't need em Assuming offset is 48mm I just bought another set of wheels 43 offset needs 5mm to Clear in front now. Nothing in rear if you don't want to spend the money for more flushness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ean carr Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 the BR09's look fantastic, much better than the br07's. I wish they offered them in a wider / lower offset than what tirerack has but I really do think they look great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish they offered them in a wider / lower offset than what tirerack has but I really do think they look great. I agree . The reason I bought the br7s was because I thought they were a close replica of your lms. But I was decieved. They look the same from a side profile, or close enough but I couldn't get passed the center mesh poking out an inch. You can only see that from the side of the rim. Which is why I didn't see it when I bought them. On tirerack. Your wheels look really good though . Real lm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
