VMR V710/703 question

BMWTDOT · 04-08-2014, 09:02 PM

Hello,

I'm looking to buy a set of vmr'a for the summer in 19x9 and 19x10 which I've seen on bimmians website for a great price. I've searched and all I could find comparable was either 8.5/10 or 9.5/10. Will this work for a pre lci coupe and what tires/offsets would be recommended? I am a little concerned with our roads (toronto) so would like the best set up for that. Stock sport suspension and probably going with falken tires.

Cheers

I ran both 8.5x10 and 9.5x10 for my fronts. I had 235/35/19 tires and I also live in Toronto. I had no issues but I was careful to avoid potholes. Even though I was cautious I still hit a few. I was also lowered on coilovers. I had no issues and did not have to roll my fenders or anything.

As far as offsets are concerned I believe VMR offers two or three offset options. +33 for 19x9.5 or +35 for 19x8.5 will fit for your fronts.

I had a really bad experience with Bimmian in Oshawa so I'd be careful when dealing with them.

We do not make any wheels in 19x9 sizing, only 19x8.5, 19x9.5, 19x10, and some 19x11 sizing.

Typically we recommend 19x8.5 ET40/19x9.5 ET33/45 or 19x8.5 ET40/19x10 ET38 staggers with the E90/E92 crowd, but occasionally we have people order 19x9.5/19x10 specs.

Thanks for the input guys really appreciate it. What was your bad experience @surendrant if you don't mind me asking?

E90 LCI I can confirm 100% that 19x8.5 ET35 19x9.5 ET35 does not rub with stock fenders and lowered on H&R Sport. Pre-LCI has 8 more MM of offset so that means rear ET27 should fit perfect with 265 tires.

Front could get away with ET33 no issues on 8.5 width front.

VMR is a great company but they recommend very mild offsets to not deal with returns

8.5et20-22 and 9.5et28-30(9.5 et20-22 for prelci) is perfectly flush on an lci e90. If you just want what fits without modifications such as fender rolling go with the specs reccomended by VMR.

You could also do 9.5et33 square with a 245/35/19. You wouldn't have to roll your fenders, but the tires will be slightly stretched.

I can confirm 19x9.5 with ET35 (VMR V810 ET40 with 5mm spacer) fits perfect on lci e90 without any fender mods, I'm running it, with H&R sport springs. ET33 should also fit with 265 hankook tires in the rear, as there's a solid 5-6mm clearance at the tightest point. ET40 looked comical before the spacers were installed.

No problem . Long story short I had a set of VB3 (now V703) hyperblack finish rims that started to peel a month after I bought them. I contacted bimmian and they asked how I wash and I said soap and a microfiber cloth. The guy pretty much kept giving me the run around for over a year. I'd call repeatedly he'd say he's looking into it and take down my phone number saying he'd call back. Till this day almost two years later he still has yet to respond to an email or call me back regarding the issue. I sold them as is and gave up.

What offset should 10" rears be to avoid mods on an LCI with sport suspension?
