round two for my loaner car

These are 18" V710's. The front offset is too aggressive but may work if these wheels had smaller tires on them:

amiller212 · 08-12-2009, 03:42 PM

What are the offsets specifically?

BSM 135i · 08-12-2009, 03:43 PM

damn i wish VMR made 1er offsets!!!! i'd be rockin 710's with the quickness!

brandon @ eas · 08-12-2009, 04:08 PM

The offsets in the photos are the following:

18X8.5 fronts with et 35

18X9.5 rears with et 45

The rear looks perfect. the front needs about 5mm to be shaved down- which would not be a big problem for a machine shop to do

Looks great.

That would be OEM

Here's another one for the road.

For those who are interested, VMR are currently testing 1 Series offsets for both 18" and 19" for the v710's

8.5" ET45 front
9.5" ET50 rear

just what i wanted to see....
can't wait

mshahidz · 08-12-2009, 11:59 PM

looks amazing...so what tire sizes are you guys running with these offsets?

Eyeman · 08-13-2009, 10:04 AM

Interesting bumpers and side skirts on that car.

If I had that set of wheels and was gonna shave the front wheels 5 mm, I'd go ahead and shave 3-5 off the rear too, especially with a car that low. No doubt it scrubs unless it has significant fender work.

The custom 45 and 50 offsets should allow 235 fronts and 255 rears, barely, depending on tire profile and how far lowered.

Bumper and side skirts are stock.
