differences between BBS LM's for E92 on tirerack?

if you set your car as an E92 335i with sports package, you'll see that there are two kinds of bbs lms offered.

both sets are 19 x 9.5 front and 8.5 rear but for one of them, the fronts are $1003 each where as the others ones are $1053 each. i tried clicking both of them and the one priced at $1003 shows an offset of 32 while the one that costs $1053 doesnt show any offset.

i also noticed that the $1003 fronts (and rear) says they are forged while the other ones ($1053 front, same rear price) doesnt say they are.

anyone know?

I am guessing the rear fitment for the 9.5 inch is et35. Those are the new fitments BBS just released. The older version with 9.5 width I have is is et32. The front is fitment is still et32. not sure what the difference is.

nico, go for the 10 inch rear with et 25 if you want lms. but you have to roll fender.

thanks jim.

you think with the 10 rear and 25 offset - only rolling fenders should do it? i was thinking even with that i would still rub; and i dont plan on stretching tires

I am not 100% sure, you should talk to Long about it. Keep your wheels, they are very unique.

never let other people discourage what you want on your car bro. there's no default on how it SHOULD be or HAVE. if it works for you, it works for you.

IMO, i think your car & wheels are the shit. they wheels look great and they're functional.

btw. i like LM's too. And yes, for 19x10 et25, you will need some fender rolling and aggressive negative camber to fit the rear wheels. It'll still rub with a 275 tire after that on an aggressive drop. might not with a 265 depending on how low u drop it.
