VMR 701's

UrUpsMn1 · 05-21-2011, 10:41 AM

Where are the 18's that we have been waiting for that was supposed to be out late April early May? Are there more delays or am I waiting for something that will never come about?

Sylon · 05-21-2011, 12:27 PM

Dude, I was waiting for those 18's to come out since June of LAST YEAR, even already had the rear wheels in my possession. I think you are wasting your time. I finally gave up and went with 19's instead.

We did have a production delay and it caused a slight push on the arrival date, but we are getting them in next week!

V701's 18x8.5 +45's will in stock in HS, GM, MB and ready to ship!

And the 18x9.5 et50's?

Any chance you guys will be putting thru some better 1 series specs for this wheel, like say an 18x8 et45-48 for the fronts? Personally i just think the 8.5" wide wheel with a 45 offset is too far out, pokes a lil outside the fender and is def noticeable unless your slammed, which in that case ur rubbing like hell..

It doesnt seem like most wheel manufacturers realize how many wheels they would sell if theyd just make a REAL 1 series perfect fitment spec: 18x8 et45 front, 18x9 et48 rear.

I know of only 1 or 2 wheels that run that spec, n theyre def not for me

Slight? They only took roughly 11 months.

UrUpsMn1 · 05-26-2011, 08:39 PM

130iguy · 06-06-2011, 10:49 PM

Ok serious question with these. I am looking at the 18x8.5 et45 fronts and 18x9.5 et50 rear 701's for my 1er. I will be rolling all 4 fenders. Will I be able to fit a 235F-265R tire setup with these then without fender rub? I know I dont need to worry bout rubbing on the inside for these, just wondering really if the i will see any rub on the outside, specially on the rears.

Does anyone have this wheel/tire setup on theirs? Ya and im either goin with the mich. PSS's or the dunlop sport maxx gt's

Sounds like a great setup.

Since you are open to doing a fender roll, this setup can definitely be pulled off with some elbow grease. Im excited to see this!

Installed the stock runflats on the 18" 701's last week. Definately worth the wait. Thanks for all your help.

Sylon · 06-19-2011, 03:56 PM

Glad we could help you! Do you happen to have anymore pics?

-Charles@VMRWheels

E82N54mwo · 06-20-2011, 10:22 PM

Here are some more pics. I have some others which show the wheels better, but file sizes are huge & I don't know how to resize them for the web. Wheels are 18x8.5et45 front and 18x9.5et50 rear.

thez99 · 06-20-2011, 10:25 PM

So are those ur stock 215/245 tires than? Would think theyd be more stretched if that was the case

E82N54mwo · 06-20-2011, 10:37 PM

Correct, stock Bridgestones, 215 & 245. They do look a bit more stretched than I prefer. Bought car used with Winter tires on 264 rims. Previous owner included these with some life left, so I will probably not upgrade until next spring.
