Yes. The ones currently on your stock wheels should work.

Charles, do they use the stock lug nuts as well?

Yes they do. OE lug bolts will work.

The wheels I've purchased are specified as 8.5 et35 and 9.5 et35.

As you've mentioned, and as quoted on the VMR site, it looks like the rears should be 9.5 et33, not et35? Now I'm totally confused!

If the 710's I've purchased are genuine 710s, and they are et35, will this tyre set up still work?

235/35/19 + 265/30/19

ET35 will still work, the only difference is that each rear wheel will be 2mm more tucked in compared to ET33.

Unfortunately those are not Authentic VMR V710's. Those are the Avant Garde M310 wheels. Our V710's are offered in a 9.5 +33 rear.

Thanks for clarifying Charles. I had a suspicion they weren't, which is why I posted the box labels. I purchased from a dealer on another forum, Extreme Wheels, who said he had VMR 710s in stock. :/

Can't say that those are VMR wheels either.

weeble - Where did you buy those from? Where they used? They look brand new!

**Edit**
Offering VMR wheels and then swapping it with a different kind of wheel/product is illegal, it's called the bait and switch. The bait and switch is considered fraud, and obviously because of that, is illegal. I would highly suggest getting your money back so you can get some authentic VMR wheels. I would be extremely upset right now if that happened to me...

Jurrian thanks for the advice - I do feel a bit disappointed. Although I still love them. They are brand new as far as I can tell. The boxes have never been opened and the wheels are flawless. It may be that the dealer I got them from doesn't know they are different as he said he hadn't even seen them and asked me for pics.

Got them from a dealer on www.bimmerforums.co.uk, Extreme Wheels.

Hmmm...

JhnR · 08-28-2010, 12:43 PM

those are actually stronger wheels than VMR's.

why would he send them back? they're hella nice.

please...thats non-sense

Keep your wheels and rock em hard.

they're gorgeous.

Most likely you won't have any problems with them, but its unfortunate that you were bait and switched for another brand. From an engineering perspective the V710 (or anything similar to it) is a solid design so as long as the manufacturing or QA process isn't short cutted you'll be just fine!
