ID:	266293 New setup: Brand New BBS LM with gold faces and polished lips
    19x9 ET27
    19x10 ET27
    245/35 and 265/35R19

    Fits perfectly, rides so much softer than my old OEM 225/255 setup, and looks so meaty . Gonna raise the rear up though as she's tucking those 265s and I rub going up driveways and stuff sometimes

Especially those running E88s or other aggressive track wheels with 275 squared setups. I think they look pretty sick but in the end, everyone is entitled to their own opinion 😉🤟🏻
      What's crazier than that is people justifying their actions based on what others are doing. I think that's called herd mentality or something like that.

      Looks great, miss my set from 03. Surprised you have rubbing issues on +27, I had no issues with a 275 on a +25.

        That looks beautiful! I need to upgrade my LMs to 9” up front and 11” in the rear but I am afraid the only way to do that would be to get new barrels and maybe even lips.

          Whoa there bud, that's not what I was trying to do. Was merely stating a friendly observation of the crazy camber I've seen the numerous track days I've attended. The only justification I needed for myself was the functional kind that it's been proven that this chassis performs better and is more enjoyable with camber on track, but what's equally important is that I personally like the look, not because everyone is doing it. If we woke up tomorrow and green cars were magically 2 seconds quicker around track and everyone started painting their cars green, I still wouldn't do that because I personally don't like green cars. 😝

            Anyways, back to staying on topic. My friend's sick E46 M3 touring conversion with velocity stacks. Motortrend wrote an article about it here: https://www.motortrend.com/features/...etails-photos/

            Crazy how many touring conversions there are here locally! Probably a good % chunk of them actually.

              Actually I was looking at my faces today and they're actually +25 in the rear. What sidewall are you running?

                TBH the track wheel/tire look is very subjective, personally I think the 10" ET25 square looks better if you add a 10mm spacer on the rear. That's not needed, and probably ill-advised if you don't have trimmed fenders. But it does even out the front to rear poke if the look is the issue. I don't like the reverse rake kind of vibe you get with the front poking out so much further than the rear. But I'm also for sure not going to be running a spacer on track just for looks.

                    Yeah 100%, that's totally fair. I definitely know the track wheel/tire look isn't everyone's cup of tea and I'm not here to push it on anyone. Everyone is entitled to their own style and opinion. Sometimes I do toss on my old ZCPs because I like that look of them too, just not how heavy the 19" wheels feel and handle haha. Talking set-up though, I do have a spacer in the rear from my previous 18x9.5 ET35 setup, but I can't remember if it's a 5mm or 10mm since I put it on so long ago lol...

                        I thought you probably meant to say +25. Back then I ran three different tires and all were 275/30/19.

                          Yeah it's my 35 sidewall that's causing me to rub with my coilovers being set so low. I didn't want a 30 cuz I wanted to look meaty. If I raise like half an inch it will be perfect.

                            If you look at it you can probably see where it says 5 or 10 😝
