VMR V710 Wheel and Tire Size

Hello!

I am in the market of looking to purchase some VMR v710 as they are very popular on this forum. I have a 2009 E92 currently with stock sport suspension. After winter, I am looking to get BC Racing or ST Coilovers to lower it a bit for an aggressive look. I am told that the size below is most popular, but is it aggressive without any fender work? I don't mind rolling the rears.. so any tips would be awesome! I am also wondering if these tires from my current wheels will fit at all on them. They are running flats btw.

19x8.5 +35 (225/35/19)
19x9.5 +33 (255/30/19)
*I do know that a lot of people suggest 235 and 265, but if I can use these same tires, it would help save me a lot of money.*

Another aggressive set was mentioned by MonacoBlueE90 was to go with 19x9.5 et33 with 235/35/19 and 19x10 et25 with 265/30/19 with fender roll to rear, but can I still use my regular tire (225/35/19 and 255/30/19)?

Those 8.5/9.5 specs are the basic setup and wouldn't require any work, so not really aggressive. In theory you can use your 225/35/19 and 255/30/19 at 9.5 and 10 wide, but front tyre might be problem to get on the wheel since the tyres are run flat's and they don't stretch well, because stiff sidewall. Rear shouldn't be problem since it's slightly less stretch.

Otherwise there is no problem to run with those sizes at those 9.5/10 wide wheels, it's basically even easier to fit than with 235/265 tyres. Of course tyres will be somewhat stretched and you need to roll the rear fenders.

19x9.5 et33 is really close to shocks at front and with coilovers it might need small spacer to clear or maybe not. If looked the links at my post in that thread. There was e92 with 9.5 et33 with KW V1 and it had 1mm clearance to shocks.

This one has 19x9.5 et32, 235/35/19 and 19x10 et27, 265/30/19 with ST coils

Thanks for your comment man. You would suggest 9.5/10 over the 8.5/9.5 then? And do you know if my 225/255 tires will fit without any problems? My concern is thay I'm afraid it won't stretch to fit.

Yes 9.5/10 setup will look better/more concave and be more aggressive looking. Rear tyre wont be problem and normal 225/35/19 will go on to 9.5 wheel, but i don't know what happens with runflats. I'm thinking there wont be any problems, but who knows.
