E36 M3 LM 17x8 et40mm 2-Piece Die-Forged Wheel

The BBS E36 M3 LM wheel is engineered for drivers prioritizing ultimate performance, stemming from BBS's legacy of forged aluminum wheel manufacturing since 1983. Each wheel begins as a billet of high-strength aluminum alloy and undergoes a specialized multi-stage Die-Forging process, utilizing up to 18 million pounds of pressure to achieve exceptional strength and lightness. Constructed as a 2-piece die-forged aluminum wheel, the LM089/089 is meticulously designed to optimize the stiffness-to-weight ratio, ensuring both performance and the long-term durability expected from BBS. It features a 5x120 bolt pattern, a 72.6mm center bore, and comes in a 17x8 et40mm size, with each wheel weighing approximately 20.8 lbs. The design benefits from weight optimization through Finite Element Method (FEM) analysis. This wheel is presented as a "Standard" fitment. Buyers should note that vehicles that have been lowered or modified may require verification of proper clearances to the fender and suspension. Factors such as tire section width and alignment settings are also important considerations for achieving optimal fitment.
