IIRC, reverse mounting an LM face gives about 6mm, so you'd be at a +19. Will better match the poke you may have in the rear.

Revers mounting the front

Thank you T

LMs are so amazing. I had them on my E60 M5, and now chris s is sporting my set on his white E92 M3.

I'm assuming "reverse mounting" the faces just means reassembling the wheel so that the wheel face is now sandwiched between the inner and outer rim halves instead of the wheel face being mounted to the outside of the outer rim half. So offset becomes more aggressive by going inner rim half/wheel face/outer rim half instead of inner half/outer half/wheel face. Does doing this in any way negatively affect the wheel's strength or integrity by changing the load distribution from the original design?

Why yes, paradocs, that is what reverse mounting means, even though it sounds like a bit of a misnomer.

Thanks for the reply, paradocs. I appreciate it.

BTW Michelin doesn't make the PSS in 285's so you gotta look into different brands.

You sure are correct I'm thinking a P Zero may be in the works

Good luck trying to get Michelins on with those offsets! P Zeros, T1Rs would be better options. Good to see you're going to reverse mount the front. Not only does it match up the offsets better, but it would look funny to have one axle reverse-mounted and the other axle not.

Your absolutely right. Are you cambered in the rear as well?

[tbone28]

-2 but I'm no where near as aggressive as you will be.

And by using such kind of device I have saved a lot of time and energy. In a word, I love the gold metal detector and have confidence in it.
