          I've done a quick autocad based on the wheel size, tyre size, diameter etc, offset
          does not take into account tyre stretch/squash

          17 x 7 ET55 with 245 tyre is roughly the same as 8.5 x 18 et56 with 245

          19 x 8.5 ET50 with 235 tyre, outside of tyre sits the same as above 2 above
          with inside of tyre 10mm towards the outside giving additional clearance

          diameter of the 19's are 20 mm larger with the tyre on

          Will have to have a look tonight and see if I can work out where it will be tight

          I'm guessing rear arches, front steering arm, arch liners when on lock,

          Keep the info coming

          Cheers Paul

                Hi, Can you confirm the offset for me, 50mm is a BBS standard size
                but I suppose you can get other offsets, I take it the tyre clears the front
                steering arms OK

                Thanks Paul

                  Digging this thread up again.
                  I have In offer for the 18x8.5 et56 BBS LM.

                  Question is: will they fit with 225/40/18? + 5mm front spacer and nothing rear?
                  Will they fit with 235/40/18 using spacers all around?

                  Is the better option 245/35/18?

                  Od like to know from people who have already tried them
