By the numbers it should (that's the same spec as the stock '05-'07 BBS), but the numbers don't tell you the shape of the spokes and if they will clear the front side of the caliper. Only a test fit will confirm that. If what you're looking at are '05-'07 BBSs, then they have been confirmed to fit.

That's the stock size of 05-07 and they fit fine on the 08. Spoke design will vary fitment.

Works great, no rubbing in the front at all. Rear fenders need a slight roll where the biggest part of the lip is. 265s would probably clear fine. Inside has plenty of room. I suspect you could actually go 265 on the stock wheels.

The 9.5" wheels look awesome. I'll get a picture.

275s on 18x9.5s 45 offset. Some notes:

On the rear, you could do 48 offset. I would not go below 45, or you will have to do more then a simple roll of the fender. With the 45 offset, you could do a 285, but again that pushes the outside which would need more roll.

On the front 45 is perfect. Room both in and out. Might be able to squeeze 285s.

I also have the Perrin PSRS, which increased the caster to 6.8 degrees.

Badass!

I think it may be the "custom TurboXS Magnaflow based exhaust" he mentioned in a another thread.

The exhaust is the Perrin exhaust, the latest beta.

I think you mean caster, not camber.

They look great. Can't wait to get mine in.

Indeed, Caster it is. Stock was 3.4 degrees.
