VMR 710 Gunmetal on Lemans Blue
18" ET50 rear, ET45 front Gunmetal VMR 710 on Lemans Blue, stock M Sport suspension. 225/40-18 front, 255/35-18 rear Continental ExtremeContact DW tires. RS Technik tire pressure sensors. No fender mods. No rubbing. Slightly more stretched than I'd like. Especially on the front. May try 235 front, 265 rear on the next round of tires. Wheels and TPMS courtesy of PYSpeed.com. Good company to order from, and they actually had the et50 rears in stock.
I know people have done this combo many times before but I haven't come across pictures of the gunmetal finish on Lemans Blue. I couldn't be happier with the look. |

Thanks for that!
I'm still on the fence as I'm running the same size tyres, albeit Conti sport contact 5's & I'm not fond of the stretched look.

I was told by the shop that inspects my car that they almost failed it because of the tire stretch. Not because there is no cat in the downpipe but because the tires were slightly narrow for the wheel.

What r ur offsets? Half this thread is VMR / VMR like wheels running 225 / 255. 45+ for the front and 45+/50+ for rears should fit great.

Werid dude, I knew the rear was tight but thats messed that 45+ rubs and I bet 50+ doesnt.... weird. When I talked to VMR about a set of 19's 9.5 with 45+ they said the widest with out rolling fenders was 245... If that helps. If it really is bad I would say roll the fenders.
