i just want to clarify that 265 on 18x9.5 et45 is not going to happen. i put a 10mm spacer on my apex wheels (18x9.5 et62), making them an effective et52, and my 265/35-18 hankook v12s rub a tiny bit. at 45mm there's just no chance. did you get the wheels yet? if there's any way to get the 50mm offset rear wheel, thats a small (but valuable) step in the right direction, and 265s MAY work with the 50mm wheel.

Hankooks are square shouldered so if you don't have the proper offset (+45 is not high enough in the rear), then you'll have to run a stock size tire (245). This would be fine on a stock width rim, but there's no point to buying a wider rim if you can't also go with a wider tire. Get a higher offset and you can do 255s - but the Hankooks may still occassionally rub. That's easy to fix with a very slight fender roll.

Having a master list is a good idea, but it would only be useful if everyone reported everything about their set ups. There are just so many variables (between tire brands for example).

well there's already the wheel fitment thread (sticky), which goes into lots of detail about what's been tried, but i meant more of a quick top-level warning that the e82 relies on higher offsets than most BMWs, and that many wheels not designed specifically for the e82 can be problematic. follow it up with some links to explanations of how offsets work, and the aforementioned wheel fitment thread, and voila!

Fronts aren't an issue as I know V710 18" with 18 x 8.5 (ET 45) fit perfectly. I want a set of V710's in ET 45 Front & ET 50 Rear, 18" GUNMETAL please! Check it out: http://www.velocitymotoring.com/wheels_v710.html If im wrong and VMR does make this perfect 1'er offset, I will be such a happy camper. Oh and please update your website to accommodate for our odd ET 50 rear offset on V710's! |

My Vmr Rims Are On.... With A Slight Rub
18x8.5F et+45 225x40x18 Michelin Pilot Super Sport
18x9.5R et+45 255x35x18 Stock susspenion ok so its been two weeks so far that i have had them on my car. the grip and handling is very noticeable. the ride quality is much better then stock i also weigh the stock (264 style) rims winter Michelin(PA3) tires .VS. the VMR Michelin (PSS) VMR(PSS)-- each Front(45.4 lb)----each Rear(50.0 lb) all four 190.8 LB STOCK(PA3)-each Font(46.8 lb)----each Rear(48.2 lb) all four 190. lB now back to the rubbing issue on the right rear side is were it only slightly rubs not on bumps not on high speed but only on dips is were i hear the sound ( shhh )for about 1-2 sec i was expecting to have a bigger issue of rubbing with the offset being et 45 for the rear but like i said it doesnt even rub on rough NYC bumps. only if there is a lane that has a dip, it will rub unless im going super slow. Although i just notice last night as i was going fast into a sharp right turn hard i was hearing some kind of wobbling sound. i coudnt tell which side this was coming from it sounded like something was loose? or something was touching on and off . what i dont understand is that this is not the first time that i have taking this sharp right turn so hard with the VMR setup and never heard it before until last night. What can it be? Also i noticed that the front shock is Very i mean very close to touching the VMR rim. only my driver license card fits in between the shock and the VMR rim can this be the reason why i hear the wobbling sound on a sharp hard turn?? is it normal for the rim to be so close to the shock like that? do i need spacers? i will be getting my fenders rolled next week just to be on the safe side. i will post more results after the fenders have been rolled up here is the videos of the front shock and rim almost touching Last edited by Boosted_N54; 06-16-2011 at 02:25 PM.. |

Looks sweet, but the offset on those wheels combined with the PSSs (which are not narrow) may be tough to fix. It looks like you need a spacer to get some clearance there, but if you do you will probably also need a fender roll. That's the problem when these dealers sell you a set up that's not meant for the car.

Or more like thats the problem with companies not making the wheels we like for our cars. I swear, the 1 series is treated like the bastard child to the aftermarket world. They would rather make products for the 3 series and leave us hanging. That is why we are forced to go with wheels that are not perfect. If we only went with wheels that fit perfectly, we would all be rolling on Breytons. |

Definitely have a pro check it out. Looks very low for stock, and way closer to the strut than most. There's some manufacturing error to account for, but more than I'd expect to see. Try putting a blank mailing label in the strut to see if the tire's touching it... It almost has to be! A 3mm spacer should clear that up, but I'd first want to be sure there isn't something else fishy going on there.
