19in bbs lm-r shipped, should I exchange for something else?

is the 9.5 rear width going to be a major drawback? I know they look good, the the phat wide rear is amazing looking for 10.5-11 - i was thinking of bbs ch black ed. or just plain old lm's, gotta decide as tires are scheduled to be mounted monday...thanks...

It all depends on the look you want to achieve. Factory rears are 9.5" so you can't go wrong with those. If you want the wider look, that's more for aesthetics and may (or may not) affect performance/handling. If you care more for the look go wider otherwise stick with the 9.5.

"Plain old LMs" are the best looking wheels BBS ever made. So yes, I would go with the LMs, any day over the LM-Rs in this situation (9.5R). Even if available in the correct size I would still pick LMs over LMR

The LM-R tends to give you the smaller wheel look with the curved spokes, whereas the LM's will give you a larger wheel size 'look'.

19 in LM's

can anyone post photos (or direct me to a thread) with 19" LM's on a dark colored coupe - I'd like to compare the look of the 19" LM-R's on the fine JB coupe above.

the size is about 95% the same ! so this should be the size you see an E92 m3 with 19s BBS LMs

The LM is available in
Front: 19 - 8.5 +32
Rear: 19 - 10.0 +25 or 19 - 11.0 +25.

The 11" wide rear is what they call the tuner fitment and requires fender modifications.

PM me if you need more information.
