Pre-Purchase Help - VMR's on Pre-LCI E90

SmashD · 07-12-2010, 07:33 PM

Hi everyone,

I am a few days away from purchasing a used set of VMR V710's and wanted to double check that this wheel & tire set would fit my 08' 328i Sedan (stock not rolled). Here are the wheel specs:

Wheels - VMR V710 (19x8.5, 19x9.5 M3 offsets)

Tires - 245/35/19, 275/30/19

Sorry for the ignorance I tried searching info about offsets and stock specs but couldnt really understand what I was reading. Thanks in advance!

What exactly are the offsets? M3 offsets are usually pretty aggressive, especially with those tire sizes.

If you are in fact getting M3 offsets on the VMR V710 you will have major rubbing issues without a fender roll.

I think you'll be fine...I am running
F 19x8.5 ET35 with a 245/35/19
R 19x9.5 ET25 with a 275/30/19

M3 offsets, in fact wheels came off an E46 M3...stock sport susp, no rubbing, no fender roll.

The seller hasn't responded yet but I believe it is:

19 x 8.5 ET29
19 x 9.5 ET23

Did you have to roll your fenders?

Nice rims, I wish I could afford BBS wheels right now.

most likely you'll be right on the edge of the fender...will the seller let you "try em on" before buying?

ET20 on front? you will probably need to roll fender.
ET23 on rear should be ok.

Thanks for replying, I appreciate the info!

cstavaru · 07-13-2010, 03:01 AM

I think it's a way too aggressive setup for your goals (if you don't want to roll fenders).

Gavin@MMW · 07-13-2010, 11:41 AM

Woah woah...

ET 20 up front will rub on the bumper bolt.

ET23 out back with a 275/30 tire - will rub to no end.

Whoever your buying them from just want to sell and not giving you the best info...

Smash - Drop me a PM, ill take care of a local

Agree, rear could work with some rolling but front will not

david @ eas · 07-13-2010, 12:26 PM

As most people have said on this thread, the rears you can work out just fine, just fender roll, maybe add a tad of camber if necessary, but the fronts are going to be your worst nightmare. Get normal offsets up front so you don't have any issues.

Ditto.

The fronts should be a 8.5 +35 with a 235/245 tire at max.
