Basically, found a cheap set of bbs rims that are 18x9.5 37p offset all round. Not too worried about the rear but worried about fitment up front. The car is lowered on eibachs 40mm drop. Running number 4 pads up front and 3 at the back. Looking at running #1 pads up front.
Cheers

You'll need a 10mm spacer up front, 215/40-18 tires and it should be good to go...im running 18x9.5s all around with 21mm spacers on the rear...

Yea I have legal issues running spacers where I live, same with that tyre stretch. I can get the spacers certified to make them legal but definitely not the tyres. Any other options?

I think no other options, what model are the BBS's?

The rear will be fine however the front wont so much, you'll want 8.5 or below with an ~et30 - 35 and 225's max ;)

You can also run 225s on the front with rolled fenders. I'm running 225/40 all around.

Not sure what model they are; the seller in tauranga assured me they were genuine however. By the look of the pictures, they appear to be 2 piece rims. Maybe swap the barrels for 8.5? I'm running 18x8 et30 at the moment with 225/40. Btw pagz the springs are great! Thanks for the sale. Saw your old 230k with #1 pads up front. Looked good :)
