Thanks man. Any additional camber, M3 arms etc to help out?

The reason I ask is because I'm about to fit KW but I don't have any suspension parts that alter the camber; it's all stock other than M3 ARBs and subframe bushings. I'm kind of hoping I can just swap the stock shocks (with Eibach Pro springs) out for KW without messing with spacers and extended lugs.

I am running more camber, but it's due to wheel offset (I have a set of 19'' +35 in addition to the vmr). I don't think you'll have a problem at all. No aftermarket arms or spacers/lugs were needed. I'm running negative 2.5-2.7 in the rear, the right side being 2.7 due to that weird tendency of the passenger side to scrape more.

I want to order V710 or v703 wheels for my 135i with stock M sport suspension.

I have M3 front control arms, and Ground Control Street camber plates. My camber is set for -3.2 in the front and -2.1 in the rear. I track my car and drive it on the street. Ive been running on stock style 261 RIMS with the following specs (18x7.5f ET49 & 18x8.5r ET52), and 255/40R18f & 255/35R18 Bridgestone RE-11 tires, with no rubbing.

Im looking for a track setup either in square 18x8.5" or 18x8.5 & 18x9.5" staggered layout. I hope to be able to run either 235/40, 245/35, 255/35R18 in the front, and 245/35, 255/35R18, 265/35R18, or 275/35R18 in the rear. May be looking at R compound streetable tires which run wider (got Nitto NT01, Toyo R888, Yokohama AO48 on my mind)...

What wheel model + offset do you recommend? I would like to avoid spacers (if possible) but especially avoid fender rolling.

Thanks.

18x8.5 ET45/18x9.5 ET50 for staggered V710/V701/V718s
18x8.5 ET45/18x9.5 ET58 for staggered V810s

Thank you!

You should be good with 225/35/19 and 245/30/19. If you go with a 255/30/19 tire, you may need to roll your rears.

Thanks. I assume that if I go square, 18x8.5 ET45 is the way to go?

Excuse the phone pic - haven't had a chance to take any real shots.

Yep, staggered set. Super happy with them... just need to find a brake dust solution -__-

I wouldn't use any of their other products, but Armor All Wheel Protectant is fantastic with brake dust. It keeps 90% of it off in the first place and there rest you can just wipe off with a damp rag or spray with a hose. It's basically like a temporary teflon coating for your wheels.

Has anyone looked into or had thoughts about colored lug studs for their VMR wheels?

[NickyC]

Nice thread! Thought I'd take some time to post pics of my 135i, with 19" VMR V710s in a custom color painted at my local speed shop. Tire sizes are 235/35/19 front, and 275/30/19. Stock sports suspension, and no rub ever (I guess my car is special?). If you like my car, take a look at my for sale thread. It's for sale, though I wouldn't mind if nobody bought it. ;P

If you do a stud conversion you'll find a plethora of anodized and plated lug nuts. There isn't much selection for bolts though. We do have customers with studs that run our wheels though.

I saw a bunch on EAS site but no pics of them on wheels. I was looking for a matte black or gunmetal wheel with blue lugs combo
