Finally new wheels! V710's on Sedona

[Schalldampfer1]

After over a year of ownership, I finally came across a great local deal on some 18" staggered VMR V710's. Swapped out my 2 month old tires from my OEM 264's and all set to go! The OEM 5 spokes are nice, but these are way better!

Next up, got to install my COBB lowering springs. Maybe wait till after winter...

Total newbie--picking up my 135i tomorrow afternoon. Would you mind sharing whom you purchased your VMR's from and what the offsets were? Any rubbing with them?

Thanks,

I bought these used from a local member. One place you could buy them new would be mod bargains. They usually have a good price for them. Just make sure to keep the tire sizes to 225/40/18 in front and 255/35/18 in the rear if you get the 18" staggered setup. These wheels and tires will not rub on stock or lowered suspension. You may be able to fit 265's in the rear but some say it will rub depending on the tire design.

Thanks! They look fantastic on your car. I'm going to call **********s today and hopefully will place an order. I'd definitely prefer the staggered setup--will post a pic when I get them on the car.

Make sure you call them because they are always out of stock of everything. Their website is not updated and you may very well purchase a number of items and then get an email saying you need to call them because everything is out of stock or backordered for weeks lol.

Some have rub with VMR wheels with 255's on 18's. To be safe. VMR advises to go 225/40/18 and 245/35/18 on a staggered V710 setup.

We normally recommend the 245/35/18 rear with the 9.5 ET45. The 255/35/18 is doable with our ET50 rear, although it's sort of a niche fitment, so production of that spec isn't as high on the priority list.

Our new V801 is available in an ET50 rear in both 18" and 19" fitments!

OP, car looks great! Did you get the springs on yet?

Brandon these V801 wheels look sick. Are fronts ET45 and rear ET50 preferable on 225/18/40 fronts and 245/18/35 rears?

Yes, those V801 specs would work fantastically! You should also be able to run a 255/35/18 rear with the ET50.
