My New VMR VB3

MTibbs · 04-21-2010, 05:55 PM

Took some quick picture of my new gunmetal VB3's. I gotta say I'm very happy with them. They are: F: 19x9.5 et33 with a 235/35/19
R: 19x10 et38 with a 265/30/19

The tire in front is def. a little more streched that I thought in would be. 245 tire prob. would have been a better choice, or an 8.5inch wheel. Love the concavity on these wheels. No rubbing issues at all.

I have a 5mm spacer on the back, wondering if I should make it an 8 or 10, or just leave it. Also trying to decide to go with BMW or the VMR centercap.

Looking at the pictures it def. translates better in person for some reason. Maybe I suck at taking pictures!

And before anyone says it, i know, it needs a drop.

335iaz · 04-21-2010, 08:48 PM

looks good, do you have the sport suspension?

lonestar22 · 04-21-2010, 08:57 PM

i dont think thats sport suspension and im glad u took my advice on running 9.5's up front. i think u couldk tun a 10 out back and still be fine.

Yeah, thanks again. Too bad it does NOT hit the strut like the other guy said. I might try an 8 or 10mm.

johnsonz1122 · 04-22-2010, 02:06 AM

nice. but if u drop it . u will be rubbing at the bac if u add a 8mm or 10mm.
the gap doesnt look dat bad imo.

MTibbs · 04-22-2010, 05:28 AM

I'm most likely not dropping. The roads are too bad here. I 'll prob. try a 275 rear 245 front. when I need tires.

Looks awesome! Any issues with the 9.5" front?

ryanful · 04-22-2010, 02:56 PM

Looks awesome!

I'm in the same boat, the wife wants BMW center caps, I think it's kinda wrong running factory logos on aftermarket wheels and would prefer the VMR centers

It's because of your 4x4 stock suspension. You'd probably hit with coilovers.

tom @ eas · 04-22-2010, 06:29 PM

Looks great! I would leave the VMR centercaps on there.

Kemoly · 04-23-2010, 06:31 PM

one question , where i can buy that M3 trunk spoiler .. i tried ********** but there is none?

GOLFFRR · 04-24-2010, 11:47 AM
