BMW 135i with VMR V710 fitment question?

[Twin_Cam_Turbo]

Ok so I think I am pretty set on ordering some VMR V710 wheels from 1010tires IF they will fit. I would be looking at 18x8.5 +45 front and rear with 225s on the front and 255s on the rear. I don't think a 18x9.5 +50 will fit on the rear without rubbing.

Does anybody think I can run a 18x8.5 +45 front and rear with 225 and 255 on stock suspension? I can't seem to find the answer online.

I dont see a problem why the +50 rear wont fit. Im sure you could run a lower offset for both front and rear but +45 front and +50 rear sounds about right for the 1-series with stock height.

I think im going to go with 18x8.5 +45 and 18x9.5 +50 but now I have to choose between the V710 and V701 and whether I want hyper silver or gunmetal...

[Kg810]

Hyper Silver V701 is my vote.

[Twin_Cam_Turbo]

Such a hard choice. Silver for sure im thinking, V710 or V701 im not sure yet.

[Twin_Cam_Turbo]

Well I can't get ahold of these wheels in the right size/offset so back to the drawing board :(

[Twin_Cam_Turbo]

Well Tunerworks has ordered some VMR V-701 for me in hyper silver 18x8.5 +45 and 18x9.5 +50. Can't wait, thanks guys!

Similar to that but I went with Silver and my car is Lemans blue. I am so excited!

[beyond_ban]

Ahh thats right, your legacy was red. Should look sick... mix in a minor drop too :poosie:

[Twin_Cam_Turbo]

Not really planning to lower the car, its a year round daily driver that gets 30000km a year, its low enough that I have to be very careful in places as it is right now. Maybe 1/2" at maximum at some point.

[Twin_Cam_Turbo]

Wheels and tires will be ready next week :D

Pictures? I have a 2011 135i in LMB and will be wheel shopping next year. I was thinking APEC ARC-8 in gunmetal with 235 F / 265 R tires.

Cheers,

Teaser, just put them on tonight. Many more pics to come. Very pleased and seems like the car gets a lot of looks.

That would be a cool set-up. We have a couple of sets of ARC-8s arriving next week if you want to see them in person.

Lookin' good! The bright silver is really nice against the medium blue paint. Clean and classy! Enjoy them and drive safely :)

[Twin_Cam_Turbo]

Thanks!

[CalgaryOutback]

Bollocks - I didn't see your reply until now. I'll see if I can get up there on Saturday to have a look (hoping you've still a set of the ARC-8's around). Thanks!

Cheers,
Bryan

Thanks man! I love letting my dad or friends drive my car while I follow in something else so I can see it!

[T-Dubbs]

i wonder how much farther you can offset the wheels out on a 1 series....
are your fenders rolled? and your stock ride height?

[Twin_Cam_Turbo]

Stock rideheight and no fender roll on mine, can not go anymore aggressive with those tires without rubbing that's for sure, it's very close.

[T-Dubbs]

would you be interested in letting me a test fit to see the fitment on mine?
