Anyone here running on 18" BBS LM's or LM replicas? Do you think 18" in this style is too small...

BBS LM's on 18's are too small. I am currently running on 19's on my 03 Jetta GLX. The LM's design makes 18's looks small on my opinion.

If you have the HP2 calipers it's likely that LM reps will not clear the brakes

I'm planning on using my existing 12mm spacers for clearance

Double check that 12mm spacers will be compatible with the chamfer on the back of the wheel

The LM lip, plus the wheel design itself makes it look 1" smaller than they actually are.
