Hi,
recently ordered a set of 17"x7,5" BBS LM replicas. ET is 42. The suspension on my R50 has not been modified, so the fit will be like on an original car. Tires 215/40-17.

How will this look? Will I leave a huge fendergap or will it look OK? Any pictures of wheels with pretty much the same specs?

Thanks!

 

The wheel is OK

the tire is smaller than stock for tire diameter so wheel gap will be larger than stock.

Your better tire size would be either 205/45-17 or 215/45-17

 

Whered ya order them from?

 

215/40-17 Dunlop Star Specs on 17 x 7 ET 43 Enkei RPF-1

With the 0.5" wider wheel but (almost) same offset, the wheel will stick out (and in) an extra 0.25" per direction. Tire will be in the same spot.

I think it looks perfect, but you be the judge:

 

I purchased them from a norwegian dealer. I'm guessing you can get a much better price in the states. Just breathing is expensive here. The brand is InterAction, so you can search it up and maybe find them. eBay has some LM replicas from time to time as well.

Can't wait to get mine, they may be in tomorrow.

Thank you very much for this. Judging from the picture this looks absolutely perfect. Will upload photo when I get mine.
