19x8.5 / 19x11 | 5x130 | Diamond Black

Overview

The BBS LM-R is a precision-engineered, forged wheel tailored for Porsche 996 and 997 911 Carrera Narrow Body enthusiasts who demand both performance and style. This staggered setup features a narrower front and wider rear wheel, perfectly matched to enhance traction and handling characteristics unique to these iconic sports cars. Designed for drivers who appreciate the blend of lightweight construction and motorsport pedigree, the LM-R delivers confident fitment and dynamic driving response.

Visually, the LM-R carries BBS’s signature multi-spoke design with a refined concave profile, finished in a sophisticated Diamond Black that adds depth and subtle aggression to the wheel’s appearance. Its design language echoes BBS’s rich motorsport heritage, combining functional engineering with timeless aesthetics that complement the Porsche’s sleek silhouette.

This specific staggered configuration—with 19x8.5 +55mm offset fronts and 19x11 +63mm offset rears—provides an aggressive rear stance that improves rear grip and stability during spirited driving. The wider rear wheels not only enhance the car’s visual presence but also optimize power delivery and cornering balance, making this setup highly desirable for enthusiasts seeking both form and function.

Design & Construction

The BBS LM-R features a classic multi-spoke design that balances intricate styling with structural integrity. The spokes extend outward with a subtle concavity that enhances the wheel’s depth and visual impact, especially when paired with the Diamond Black finish. This finish provides a rich, dark tone with a slight metallic shimmer that complements the Porsche’s aggressive stance without overpowering its design.

Manufactured using BBS’s renowned forging process, the LM-R offers exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, reducing unsprung mass for improved handling and ride quality. The forging technique ensures a dense, uniform grain structure in the aluminum alloy, resulting in superior durability and resistance to fatigue. This combination of design and construction makes the LM-R a perfect match for high-performance applications where both aesthetics and engineering excellence are paramount.

The staggered sizing not only enhances the car’s visual appeal but also improves traction by allowing wider tires at the rear, which is critical for the rear-wheel-drive Porsche 911 platform. This wider rear setup creates a more aggressive stance and better power transfer, ideal for spirited driving and track use.
