Ok, sorry guys (and ladies), but I've got several questions and all help will be greatly appreciated.

1)Does any one know the proper offsets for BBS LM that will clear a BBK (leaving my options open)? (There's a CS Z w/ Brembos in the Gallery here, but no member name, anyone know the owner?)
2)Would these be TPS compatible?
3)I'm hoping for 18x9 front and 18x9.5 rear both wrapped in BFG gForce KD 275/40ZR-18 rubber, but only because I've seen that the sizing will fit (SCC Project Z). Are there any other tires that will fit the bill/is this tire going to be all dry performance?
4)Any good places to get them from (customer service & price)?


Thanks everyone, hopefully I'll be proudly joining the league of non-stock Z owners.

 

One more thing, is this going to f*** with my VDC? Thanks again.

(Don't be afraid to comment guys)

 

You can always try tirerack.com to get BBS wheels, not sure about if they are the cheapest to get from, but their customer services is always on par. Those are really nice wheels, can't go wrong with them. Good luck.

 

how much bigger than Brembo golds (track model) are you thinking?

 

Tirerack doesn't have LM's that fit the Brembo package. Might have to special order them.

 

As for size, no larger than a Stoptech 14.1", though i doubt i'll go larger than their 13". Has anyone had any experience with RPM Revolution (www.rpmrevolution.com)? They seem to have a large selection, maybe not good prices, but they at least have LMs, maybe not in the offsets i'm looking for though. Thanks though for everyone giving useful advice.

Edit: How much more clearance will Stoptech's 14.1" in terms of mm offset? Thanks.

 

the LM's can be done for Brembos (have a customer with them), but not sure about bigger..... I need to sit down and do some math

 

z1auto- Didn't see LMs on your site, but if you can do the math and help me out you've more than likely (99%) got a customer.

Anyone else with help on the VDC issue, or would i just have to switch it off?

 

if you want to keep VDC you can run 275/35 on the front and 275/40 in the back. But i'm not sure if the 275/35 will fit a 9" rim. Also if you do it this way, you'll not be able to rotate your front and rear tires.

 

nuff- I hadn't guessed I'd be able to rotate front and back tires since I was thinking 18x9 front and 18x9.5 rear, however, thanks for the VDC info. I suppose i'll just have to consider how screwed up it would be or how much I need it.

 

You could always take the tires off the rims and rotate them that way. It's more expensive then just moving wheels around (which is free).

 

nuff- I guess I could, but seems like a lot of trouble.

Any LM owners advice would also be appreciated...

 

exactly which brake kit?

 

Stoptech 14.1" front and either the same in the rear, or the stoptech 13" rear rotors plus caliper, if they are different (which I'm not sure that they are). Do you think you could to the calculations to see if that's possible, or would LMs limit the BBK size to Track Brembos?

 

I need to know the size of the Stoptech 14.1" kit in order to ask about offsets, anyone help me out here? (Stoptech guys?)

 

How much larger are the calipers on the Stoptech as opposed to the Track trim Brembos?
