Damnnnnn I forgot about that car.

I like the meaty fitment, but a little more camber would really help it look amazing. If only we got adjustable camber arms ):

bogart · 03-28-2013, 08:09 AM

It proves that it could possibly work to run the wheels reverse mounted.

Yeah, I think with my offsets (front lip pushed out an additional 1/4-inch and rear lip sunken in 1/4-inch) and ability to adjust camber will complete the look.

The rear is somewhat adjustable with the eccentric bolt on the lower control arm. The issue is that the upper control arms cannot be adjusted.

Also, I pick up the centers today

Yep, that's gonna look awesome. Very nice!

Zombie1 · 03-28-2013, 02:01 PM

Wow

bogart · 03-28-2013, 05:40 PM

So you can kind of get the idea of what they will look like. Bolts need to be finished still. There were a few imperfections in the powder coat, so I'm having the centers re-done. That's what the mark is for on the center.

MS135I · 03-29-2013, 11:20 AM

Looks good. Although I am not a huge fan of white mesh, but I think it will be a nice contrast with the color of your car.

Looks like you reverse mounted those? I believe depending on the application, some BBS LM's (mainly JDM spec fitments) come front mounted, and others reverse mounted. The specific LM's that I have came reverse mounted from BBS.

bogart · 03-29-2013, 11:32 AM

Yes, mine are JDM, so they originally came front mounted. I'm going to reverse them to give it more lip and change the offset. Test fitting this weekend.

MS135I · 03-29-2013, 03:01 PM

Good luck. Looking forward to seeing the finished product.

n55_135 · 03-29-2013, 03:32 PM

pure sex. The wait to see these mounted is just killing me!
