Rebuilding BBS LM 5x112 to 5x114.3 Need Help

[slowmkv]

I have a set of 18x8.5 et 45 BBS LM's off of my mkv gti. Which i am looking to get rebuilt to 19x10 and 19x11 for my g37. Only problem i have is rotiform wants me to get the wheel on the car to measure the caliper to spoke clearence to help determine my offset. I understand 5x112 to 5x114.3 is very close and i can most likely squeeze it on but i most definitely dont want to damage the studs. Any suggestions?

for bolting it up on the car, you can use wobble bolts.

the other stuff, you just need to measure.

Yeah but i have studs on my car. So i cant use wobble bolts unless i remove the studs which is pointless to do just to test fit the wheels on. Thats why im trying to figure out what to do

So what measure from the hub to the caliper and mesure the inside of the wheel to the spoke?

ah now i understand, tho i would take something square like a ruler, put it square against the hub, and see if it hits the caliper, if not then you can run your faces.
if it hits, then measure how much clearance you need, then put your lm face on a flat surface and measure how much it will clear, simple logic.
then figure out how big lips you want / can fit. with the same logic, measure from the square surface to the point were you want to bolt the lips on the face (if you are going front mounted or rear mounted face).
that point will be the reference point, to when you are gonna start calculating. based of your current wheels, were you hopefully know your wheel size and offset.

Lol thats exactly what i just did. In order to get the lm's on my car i would need to run a 10mm just for the wheel to turn so to get them the offset i want i would need like a 20mm spacer. Idk if im down for running a big spacer. I like direct fit wheels lol.

What I dont even..

Why would you run spacers for anything other than clearing the faces from the calipers when youre getting the wheels rebuilt?

you shouldnt have any issues bolting them up to your hub if you want to do that. nissan/inifiniti uses a 12mm stud, where as audi vw has 14mm bolt holes. so the holes are in fact 2mm bigger as it is, which should allow you to slide the center on for the purpose of fitting the face without damaging anything.
