Cool Reverse Mounting BBS LM

I have another thread going here on the refinish process of my BBS LM wheels:

http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=798080

However, I'd like to get some input from people who might possibly be running more aggressive wheel sizes, suspension setups, and offsets.

Current setup that I know works for sure:

Front:
  • 18x9 et40 with 5mm spacer (et35)
  • 225/40 (KDW V2)
  • -2deg camber, stock toe
  • Rolled and pulled fenders
  • KW V2, Vorshlag, M3 control arms

Rear:
  • 18x10 et50
  • 255/35 (KDW V2)
  • -2deg camber, stock toe
  • Rolled and pulled fenders
  • KW V2

Reverse Mounting (More lip, deeper wheel, more polish showing):

I've taken measurements of both the thickness of the mounting part of the barrel (7mm +- 1mm) and the mounting face of the center (9mm +- 1mm)... So, I figure an offset difference of 15-16mm. Most references I've read say that the difference ranges between 10-15mm. Reverse mounting would pretty much be like putting a 10mm spacer on the front and 15mm spacer on the rear.

Here is the setup I'd like to go to:

Front:
  • 18x9 et24
  • 215/40 (Ventus V12)
  • -3deg camber, stock toe
  • Rolled and pulled fenders
  • KW V2, Vorshlag, M3 control arms

Rear:
  • 18x10 et34
  • 245/35 (Ventus V12)
  • -2deg camber, stock toe
  • Rolled and pulled fenders
  • KW V2

Any input or experiences would be greatly appreciated from people who have tried different things and know what they are talking about. Links to threads and/or photos would be awesome.
