World First 135i on Vossen CVTs

N55 Jay · 01-22-2014, 02:45 PM

So after my drop I decided I wanted to go ahead with an aggressive wheel setup yet a little different than the same brands most of us run on the 1 series. I wanted to run the widest wheel possible without sacrificing ride quality or having rubbing issues. Went ahead and talked to the guys at Vossen about my thoughts and goals with the setup. Here's a Tease!

Wheel Specs:
Vossen CVTs
F 19x8.5
R 19x10

Tires
Nitto Invos
F 225/35/19
R 255/30/19

Suspension
H&R Super Sports Springs
Eibach Sway Bars.

what a nice setup! My brother has these wheels on his CLS63 that looks amazing on the 1 series

Zsanz · 01-22-2014, 09:41 PM

nice, camber gain is high enough on the rear to not bang the lip on the fender?

Running -1.8 Camber in the rear. No fender work and not rubbing at all. Can easily run a 265 with no problems.

RimasRS · 01-23-2014, 11:32 AM

Maybe Vossen doesn't want to let people know the offsets.

Correct!! The H&R Super Sports drop about 2.2" in the Front and 1.7" in the Rear. I recommend you get the Sway bar in the front as well to prevent Body roll and rubbing. On the front I had to raise the Shock from the housing about 1/4" to clear when turning unless you run a lower profile tire on the front. Good Luck!!

bmw5858 · 01-29-2014, 04:12 PM

The h&r coil spring supersport drop that low and you don't need any camber kit to bring back the wheel correctly? A -1,8 are u using the tire correctly? I was going to h&r coilspring but not the super sport, so it's drop 1.7 front and 1.4 rear. Trying to get a 225 front tire and 255 rear, with the vossen wheel. Didn't make my choice for now..

jwongie · 01-31-2014, 01:53 AM

For those interested in the offsets the fronts are a 8.5 with a +40 and the rears are a 10 with a +55.

You won't have any issues. I suggest you get a sway bar in the front as well to make it more rigid when turning. I'm running a 255 in the rear no problem. You can even run a 265. My fenders aren't rolled either.
