« on: 01 May 2012, 18:50 »
Purchased these today BBS LM Reps 18x8 front and 18x9 rear, now looking for the right set of coilies to get but theres so many to chose from ( JOM, EIBACH, FK AK, PRO STREETS ), also how low would i need to drop it and would i need spacers, tbh it looks fines to me, anyone ?

They are reps, so they are one piece wheels, not splits.

@Adz gti - I'm also running JOMs without any problems, with 18x8j et35 all round. Spaced 20mm rear and 15mm front.

im new to golf scene so i dont know much, but i know if its dropped a lot wouldn't the sump scrape and soon become damaged, so everyone recommends JOM's :) so be it, yh one piece, there is slight poke on the rears but it shouldn't be a problem....... only thing is though, now im going to have to clean alloys thoroughly for car meets :P

btw you guys are so friendly, welcoming and very helpful, glad im a member of this forum
