I am definitely considering it, but the more I see it in person, the more I know I want to change it.

shortwave360 · 10-01-2010, 01:09 PM

great pics!

The gold is fun for now, imagine having these be "new" again after a custom refinish!

IMO if you flip them it be a 3-4mm increase. If you poke too much up front, a 5mm spacer machined down to size to flush up the rear over the front might work.

Flipping it is about 10 - 13MM different IIRC.

My buddy's going to do that to his set of LMs, and i'm debating for my set of IMPULs too

dustinwark · 10-01-2010, 02:04 PM

It will take some "figuring" to get the stance just right.

Front and Rear! See how it fits, haha.

Just run them for now, when you take off the tires to refinish everything, then try the reverse mount.

I mean 18x8 ET30 is easily doable in the fronts!

18x8 ET30 in the Rears woud be pretty perfect good, and you can probably space them out I would guess...still another 10MM for that perfect stance

Dumb question, what does reverse mounting achieve?

steveo17 · 10-21-2010, 05:29 PM

dustin colormatch the skirts. add an .:R rear and you will have one fine (finer) machine

reverse mounting allows you to create a more aggressive offset. Basically the face of an LM is mounted to the front of the barrel. By mounting the face to the back of the barrel, you essentially force the wheel to move outward.
Reverse mounting also gives you more lip, causing your wheel to look deeper while making your lips protrude more.

dustin, I thought you got a staggered set? shame on you!

pppffffff! staggered is over-rated, I can rotate tires much easier and they were a lot cheaper.

OVRWRKD · 10-21-2010, 07:07 PM

Can't wait to see where you go with these! Stance is on point now and those wheels set it off! Going to be nuts with refinished wheel bling

ajt23 · 10-21-2010, 07:18 PM

If I decide to wholesale my car Ill have a BMP R rear for sale.
