looking at a set for winter usage...wondering what sized spacers i will need for them.

they clear stoptechs without spacers so you shouldn't need any

Default are they ET30? so not completely flush with the wheel wells?

i think i will have less issues...although the BBS LMs are ET25 and i need 5mm to clear the BBK.

Default yeah ET 30... its the way the spoke is designed that makes LMs hard to fit over BBKs

the spokes on the LM are inset where as the CH spokes are set more towards the face of the rim.

I just remember that LMs will not fit with stoptechs at all and that CH's will without spacers (from others on the forum) and stoptechs are the 'widest' calipers out there from what i hear.

Default Dani is correct - offset is only part of the equation - spoke pattern on CH's is flush

on the outside of the wheel. Lots of clearance.

Default hmmm. wonder why Ryan E. is using 15mm rear then and no one else.

and since he has a 2001 QC, same as mine. weird.
