I've searched and found a lot of info on offset and side
So far the ideal info I've found is:
FRONT - 18x8.5 - 235/4018 ET30
REAR - 18x9.5 - 255/35/18 ET25
I have found a set of vmr v710 similar but offset are 35 front and 22 rear
Will I get into any issues of running?
Will be also for coil overs and lowering a bit (not slamming)
2nd questions is I do plan to track the car and I know there is a form-flow version of this rim. I'm not concern about weight but more so strength. Would the regular cast rims v710 be fine for track or should I look at form flow to forged for tracking?
Thanks for the info advance and sorry if I'm repeat anything that's already been post

Hi there,
While the widths you listed are ideal for your application, those offsets seem a bit low compared to what is typically ideal for the non-M E92 chassis. I would recommend something along these lines as an alternative:
Front: 18x8.5" ET35 or ET38 with 235/40-18 tires
Rear: 18x9.5" ET35 with 265/35-18 tires - Direct fit.
- 245/40-18 front tires can be used.
- 275/35-18 rear tires may require rolled fenders and/or negative camber depending on ride height.
You can run an 18x9.5" ET22 in the rear on these cars and while it will be a more flush fitment compared to an 18x9.5" ET35, you will typically have to roll your fenders to fit a 265/35-18 tire. The 18x9.5" ET35 gives you a bit more fender clearance to run a more aggressive tire without further modifying the car. Even with coilovers and a mild to moderate drop in ride height, this setup will typically be a direct fit on a Pre-LCI E92.
While I cannot speak to the VMR wheels specifically, I can share that our Flow Formed wheels are designed and tested with regular track use in mind.
Hope this helps! If you have any follow-up questions please let me know.

Just to let you know I ended up with apex arc-8 rims instead lol! I'm so much happier I went this route
18x9 on 235/40 et30 front
18x9.5 on 265/35 et35 rear
