Test-fitting Volk TE37 SL and RE30 M3 sizes

cmark8 · 04-26-2015, 05:42 PM

Hello everyone,

I took some pictures test-fitting wheels on the 135i for kicks and giggles.

The first four pics are the TE37SL 18x9.5 et22, and the last three pics are the RE30 18X9.5 et35.

Apparently the mobile app repeated some pics. Here is the non uploaded pic.

Would need some insane camber and pulled fenders to fit those suckers.

Right.

I'm not in the mood to "stance" it. I already have enough traction problems the way it sits currently. Adding more camber, pulling those fenders and fitting 245 tires won't cut it for me. Hahaha!

Did you try the fronts?

I didn't try them on as they're the same size as the rears (18x9.5et22(TE27SLs) and +35 (RE-30s)) . I still have to install my front m3 front control arms/sway bars and ground control camber plates.

I currently have HRE 563R, but I'm sourcing two sets of Volk wheels for street and another set for track for my 135i.

That's why I'm interested

unless you're putting fender flares on the car, i would go with more offset... tires sticking out just doesnt look good, imo.

I just put them on to have a good laugh and show how limited we are wheel/tire wise compared to an E46 m3.
