Our VB3's (CSL) in a 8.5 +40 front with a 225 and a 9.5 +45 with a 245 will work with some slight fender mods depending on ride height.

The V710's on the hand are going to be a bit more tough to fit in the front since they are offered in a +35.

Feel free to shoot me a PM if you have any further questions. charles@velocitymotoring.com

19x8 in the back and 18's in the front.. more expensive to do it that way but worth it.

Our CSL reps come in 18" and in exclusive sizes for the 1-Series that allows for 225/40/18 and 255/30/18 to be used. The offsets used are also flushed with the fenders and require no fender modifications and no spacers.

Let me know if you have any questions and I`ll be more than glad to answer them for you.

Cheers,
Matt.

What tire sizes do you have in mind? Please let me know if you are going to be rolling your fenders, what suspension you are going to be running as well as if you are going to be upgrading your brakes in the future.

Clearance on the 1er is very tight so you must choose wisely.

i have no suspension work done. i am not sure about rolling fenders. i dont know if i will ever upgrade my brakes... i think the stock ones are pretty good, maybe performance rotors down the line

i hope to do kw v2s in the future...
