a little help on sizing for Velocity V715
I'm considering getting some of the V715 in 18 inch staggered. I know the rears, 18 x 9.5 are available in +45, +22 offset and both fit the 335i sedan. What are the differences in appearance and which would look best. My car is still on the stock springs.

22 offset you may rub even if you don't lower. Go with the spacers.

V715's only come in 19" at this time. 18's will be months and months away...
We put ET22's on E90 sedans all day long... NO problems whatsoever, even with 265 tires. We did this one the other day:   I'd strongly suggest you go with 19's. 18's are just too small considering some people are running 20's comfortably on the E90. JL |

the rear looks PS.... or looks like the car is on the rear tire.... 22mm rear offset is way too aggressive.... even for a sedan... yo uare gonna rub 100%, you will have to roll your fenders quite abit... i say go with 45mm offset and run 12mm spacers... i ran 19x9.5 et30mm, lowered on H&R Race springs, and it would rub on bigger bumps and dips.... i dont care what any sponsor says, 19x9.5 et22 on the rear with a 265/30 tire, will rub if you are lowered..... |

It was lowered in Pshop, but I have the original photos somewhere. The car was on sport suspension... and it wasn't even close to rubbing.
if you're going to lower very aggressively, yeah, go with ET30 offsets. If you're only going to lower on sport springs, ET22 looks better. JL |
