Hey guys/gals,

Thanks for reading this and any input you give me will be appreciated. I'm looking into buying some new VMR V710FF Rims for my 2011- 335i. I was told by a VMR rep that 19x8.5 ET35 in the front, and 19x9.5 ET33 in the rears are are the recommended fitment for my car, but I want to go more aggressive. Is it a big deal to go 19.9.5 in the front and 19x10.5 in the rears? FYI, my car is XDRIVE, so I'm not even sure if staggered is a good idea.

Best,

Richard

They recommended that fitment because its probably close to the largest you can fit without further modification. Up to you if you want to roll fenders or get a camber kit to achieve a larger wheel. You need to think about tire sizes too.

Your wheels need to be the same rolling diameter because of X-drive, and going square is usually the easiest way to guarantee that, but you can stagger them if you get your numbers right.
