Yep, fit on the car is perfect, fitting rims on is another story

Should have made that clear. I honestly don't know what I'm going to do when I actually get to buying new rims. I'm going to be so gun shy I won't be able to pull the trigger.
Guess thats why sometimes people pay $4k and up for a set of custom rims. At least then you know they'll fit.
I tried to buy Gary's rims when I got his BBK. I just didn't have the funds at the time. Kicking myself now.

yeah...if you did...you'd know that it would fit. even if you purchase more

expensive wheels in the $4000 range, there's no guarantees that it will fit then. if you get 8" wide wheels, you know that you will have more latitude for fitment versus 8.5"...where there's no wiggle room. even if you had the funds to buy meem's HRE custom wheels...it wasn't certain that they will fit as well. for one, because meem didn't have a BBK and two, there's NO wiggle room since they were custom offsets so that the lip was flush to the fenders.

when i got my LMs, i didn't even think about whether or not they would fit my porsche BBK. i only found out when i took the winters off and put the LMs on. i was shocked. even with a 3mm spacer to clear the calipers...rolled fender well (slightly)...removed center screw on top of the fender. now, there's no rubbing and there's about a hair space between the caliper and the inside of the wheel.
