kirby135i · 04-11-2010, 05:42 PM

Sidh135i · 04-11-2010, 06:05 PM

looks amazing!

Brad135 · 04-11-2010, 07:44 PM

Looks classy! And evil at the same time!

What tire sizes did you go with?
Looks like the photo is showing 245/35ZR19's on the rear...

IZAGLO · 04-11-2010, 08:17 PM

yea man...loks real good. Actually this is the 1st VMR710 pictures i have seen where the tires do not look overly stretched and in balance or damn near close to fittin perfect without the rim sticking out past the fender...were the fenders rolled?... they fit really well. I still want to stay 18" though...but as asked what size tires front and back.. I am assuming the rims are 8.5 front 45offset and 9.5 rear 50 offset..yes..

.Now i want them in Gunmetal....

Sick!

Itanius · 04-11-2010, 09:25 PM

Very nice!

JohnL135I · 04-11-2010, 09:30 PM

The rims are 19x8.5 and 9.5 rears, 45mm front/50mm rear offset. Tires are Hankook V12's 225/35 fronts and 245/35 rears.

Stock suspension, no fender rolling. The back tires are stretched, I would have preferred a 255 size, but I did not want to deal with any rubbing issues.

The color of the wheels and the tire shine seem to blend the rim and tires together so that the stretched tire is not as noticeable. I also came to the realization that to run this rim without out any modifications, 245 would be the widest width. Overall, I'm very happy with the wheels and tire combo.

I like the glossiness of the black, I wanted something with a little shine, but still have the aggressiveness of black.

Forgestars are nice, but if you could see these rims in person, you would

mkv2e82 · 04-12-2010, 11:05 PM

very nice, reminds me of mine except in textured black. does brake dust stand out on that color wheel?

JoeyBananaz18 · 04-13-2010, 01:49 AM

id love to see pics of the car from farther back. i want these on my space grey E92.

Bullitt · 04-13-2010, 04:42 AM

Very nice, John. Might even like them more than the Breytons you once had. What's the weight on these?

JohnL135I · 04-13-2010, 08:12 AM

I'll try and get farther back pics later today, as for brake dust, no issues so far.

VMRWheels · 04-13-2010, 04:26 PM

Looking good...

Clap135 · 04-13-2010, 09:26 PM

Wheels look nice, even though they don't fit right. And the tires make you look like a vdub. Personally I hate the stretched look. Which they came in proper offsets to fit at least a 265 on the rear.

imo the perfect tire for the rim width would be a 245 front 275 rear.

JohnL135I · 04-13-2010, 11:02 PM

Eyeman · 04-14-2010, 12:07 AM

Looks great!

Assuming you are not rubbing, I'd go ahead and try 255/30 rears when you wear out these rears. My car rubbed more on 245/35's than it did with 255/30's. I switched brands at the same time but I'm not sure that the shorter profile didn't make just as much difference.
