BBS LM + Eibach Springs Fitted

Just fitted the new for 2018 BBS LMs from BBS Japan built specifically for the F90 M5. Have been waiting about 2 months for them. When my car was new I fitted the BBS CH-R flow-formed wheels. But when BBS Japan released these forged beauties, I really couldn't resist!

The Eibach springs have been great so far, absolutely loving them.

As for wheel weights, I weighed them before mounting the tyres on them:

M5 Standard 20" front wheel: 15.8kg
BBS CH-R 20" Flow-Formed Front wheel: 12.8kg
BBS LM 20" Forged 2pc Front Wheel: 11.8kg

M5 Standard 20" Rear Wheel: 16.2kg
BBS CH-R 20" Flow-Formed Rear Wheel: 13.2kg
BBS LM 20" Forged 2pc Rear Wheel: 12.3kg

Here are some pics with the BBS CH-R she started the day off with and the BBS LMs that now adorn it:

Looks like ricer to me and lacks the elegance. Doesn't suit the car well IMO and makes it look like a Honda or something.

Can you provide us with more I do as far as the width of the rims and tire size?
I see the front is 275 must be on 20/10
Rear mine guess is 295 looks like is stretched a little more must be on 20/11
Can you provide the offset too?

Some people don't like the second set but OP you put whatever you like man.

That antenna in the back, is that high frequency antenna? Or CB or HAM
Don't tell me you drill a hole . Lol

Those LMs look fantastic. What's the ETA for them to hit the US?

Is this the correct offset in the rear or are you running spacers? The wheels look to be pushed out a bit much.

Thanks Miko. The wheels are Bbs Japan produced under their Tuner range. Front is 20 x 10 et 22 and rears are 20 x 11 et 24. They are produced specifically for the F90 M5. I reused the stock P zeros that came with my car but I’m going to change to Michelin’s PS4S as they are a broader Tyre that’ll fit the rim better. Besides which they’re a better Tyre anyway.

The front wheels are BBS LM Model #436 and the rears are BBS LM Model #437.

The antenna is indeed a high frequency digital cb set up for car to car communications on a B road drive. Cheers

MAte no spacers. They are exact fit for this car produced under BBS Japan’s Tuner Fit range. Cheers
