BBS LM rep wheels mounted

Thought I'd share. Linea Corse Lemans 19x10 et43 on all four corners with 285/35/19 Kumho Ecsta XS tires. 15mm spacers needed up front to clear the brembos. 1.8º of camber up front. The car is lowered around 2". kw clubsport coilovers. Better pictures coming soon.

FYI these should fit really well with non-brembo cars, assuming they have more brake caliper clearance. you may not even need a spacer at all.

What is the smallest lateral clearance between the wheel and the Brembo caliper after a spacer ?

there's probably 2.5-3.5mm of clearance max between the spacer and caliper. if i found a 13mm spacer, i'd try it, but it would be very tight. i wish the brembo calipers were mounted more inboard

A 13-mm spacer is basically half an inch. Did you have problem with thread engagement ? Do you know how many turns of lug nut until it touches the wheel ?

One solution is to use extended-tip lug nut. The extension is about 3/8" or 10 mm; not quite the 15 mm that the spacer took, but it would help.

the h&r spacers i got come with replacement studs, which gives plenty of thread for the lug nuts. There isn't close to enough thread engagement with the stock lugs. funnily enough the new studs are the same lenght as the stock studs, they just don't have the little threadless engagement tip (best name i could come up with) at the end of the stud.

Did stud replacement require removal of the wheel hub ?

no, no removal of the hub necessary, but because i used a ball joint separator (harbor freight) to go easy on the hub bearings, I removed the caliper and rotors. otherwise you can just hammer out the studs and use an open ended lug nut to pull in the new ones.

Those are going to be so much FUN cleaning after they get some dirt, water, and brake dust build-up.

Looks good, but you're gonna be kicking yourself when it comes to cleaning time.

Wow, those look good! What an agressive stance. Great wheels, and excellent tire width for front and rear! Very nice!
