Reverse mount or standard mount for BBS LMs
Going to be mounting my LMs soon on my IS350 F, 18x8+35 front and 18x9+35 rear with standard front mounting of the centers. I can reverse mount the centers which would take me to around +23 front and rear from what I've researched.
Not sure if this is will be too flush and cause issues, especially if I lower the car in the future. I think it would look better if it works though, especially giving the fronts a deeper look. Example of reverse mount vs standard:
Mounted on my Altezza Gita and S15 Silvia:

I have 19x9.5 in the rear +39 and 19x8 +35 in the front.
Comparing them on willtheyfit.com - you will be 9.7mm out more than I am on the rears, which I feel I am already pretty darn close.
For the front you will be out 12mm more than me, which on my setup with +12mm spacers setup, we will be equal as far as flushness go. But I had to do pretty extensive front fender mods to get mine to fit at those offsets, which includes a roll and slight pull, and I still rub on big dips at this point.
Depending how low you go and tire choice, you may just barely... I mean barely clear or be faced with quite some rubbing issues.
Good luck nonetheless!

Looks like I'll be staying with regular center mounting. I shouldn't have any issues with the +35 offset, correct?
