BBS lms for the summer
« on: 23 March 2013, 21:07 »
Hi guys I'm thinking of getting real BBS lms for the summer in 18" the problem is last summer I had innovative dtms with hub centric spacers on my golf which looked really nice but handled like a b!tch rubbed on the arches and really effected my drive. I now have 16" montreal alloys still with spacers which stand out better and handle much better and no rubbing. So I'm thinking weather to get the 16" refurbed into a gunmetal grey with a gloss finish or go for the BBS which is a better wheel I might have less problem. Maby get the arches rolled. Any ideas guys?

Why didn't you raise the rear if it was rubbing? Or smaller spacers? I ran 15 spacers and 20mm adaptors at the rear with no rubbing. If you get the right width of alloys you should be grand mate.
