Had the same question for you as well....Looks like your stilling poking out hard in the rear and I was gonna ask if there is a reason you hadn't put more camber in the rear to be more flush instead?
I can still add more camber in the rear but my goal is to put on wider tires in the rear for gripping purposes so I don't want a lot of negative camber. I would be harder to tuck 285s back there. Lol

What size tyres do you have on the front?
Currently in this setup I have stretched 215s upfront. I normally run 235s there. This is what it normally looks like

I don't think 285s would fit at all! That's a very aggressive offset and a very wide tire.

I'm sure that there are a lot of other costs associated with the importing of our wheels abroad, and it could vary from country to country. The cost may include the delivery, any import taxes or tariffs, etc.

Either way though, you're more than welcome to purchase direct, or through our European distributors.

Thanks, that's exactly what I was contemplating, 235/40/18 on 18x8.5 et40.
Looks like a tight fit.

It is definitely a tight fit. But you will need to roll and pull your fenders to pull it off. otherwise you won't be able to clear it without rubbing

I ordered the VB3s, Ill probably run -2 camber until i get the fenders rolled. I hope the rear 18x9.5 et45 on 255s does not rub too much with my 1" eibach drop.

At the end of the day, the import costs to Germany are probably different than Sweden, and they have to cover those costs somehow.

Unfortunately I do not know who made it, as it was just listed as "custom" when we asked about it.

Here's another picture of my Vader Black Vb3s. Someone took this at the last show I went to and I figured I would share the pic. I love this wheel color and offset combo

I want to order V710 or v703 wheels for my 135i with stock M sport suspension.

I have M3 front control arms, and Ground Control Street camber plates. My camber is set for -3.2 in the front and -2.1 in the rear. I track my car and drive it on the street. Ive been running on stock style 261 RIMS with the following specs (18x7.5f ET49 & 18x8.5r ET52), and 255/40R18f & 255/35R18 Bridgestone RE-11 tires, with no rubbing.

Im looking for a track setup either in square 18x8.5" or 18x8.5 & 18x9.5" staggered layout. I hope to be able to run either 235/40, 245/35, 255/35R18 in the front, and 245/35, 255/35R18, 265/35R18, or 275/35R18 in the rear. May be looking at R compound streetable tires which run wider (got Nitto NT01, Toyo R888, Yokohama AO48 on my mind)...

What wheel model + offset do you recommend? I would like to avoid spacers (if possible) but especially avoid fender rolling.

Thanks.

VMR V703 on BMW 120d

Hello,
I got a BMW 120d from 2009 and i would like to buy the VMR V703 rims with 19x8,5 et40 in the front and 19x9,5 et45 in the back. Does somebody knows if this will fit without any adjustments to the car? Does the tyres touch the suspension or not?
Thank you!

I don't really consider the modification to be extensive or difficult, especially compared to other work you may do on the car.

Coils are KW V3.
Did you need a spacer to stop tyre contact with the front spring perch on the KW shock absorber?

There's no spring contact for the front or rear. No spacer.
