Calling BBS LM owners

[Interlagos]

I recently picked up a used set of LM165 & LM148s — standard E46 M3 sizing (19x8.5 et32 & 19x10 et25). I put new 245/35 & 275/30 PS4S tires on them, but for some reason I’m getting what seems like entirely too much poke in the rear vs pictures of the same setup on other E46 M3s.

I’m using 82mm-72.5mm BBS PFS hub rings on the wheels with the OEM lug bolts. Also running KW v2s with a rear center hub to fender measurement of about 12.75”

I’d appreciate any fitment insight from other LM owners, as I can’t even back my car out of the garage right now without getting some awful rubbing in the rear… I have some new rear camber arms on the way, but something about this setup feels off regardless given how many people run this same combo without the noticeable rear poke I have at the moment.

Without seeing the photos of the faces, I'd say they are reverse mounted, which I believe makes it more like an et10

You’re exactly right! Looks like I’m taking these apart today.

FYI, once you take them apart, you'll likely need to refinish the centers on those rears, if done correctly, they would have machined the chamfer on the centers mounting face.
