VMR Fitment help

Luca · 11-12-2015, 06:44 PM

I found some VBR/V703 used locally with Falken 452 tires

235/40/18 with 40 offset for front
265/35/18 with 45 offset for rear

I'm driving an 09 m sport 135i lowered on swift springs and koni fsd struts. I have the stock wheels with 225/255 tire size now but it seems like there is a ton of room, I'd rather hear from experience.

Will they rub? spacers needed? Fender work? anyone have pics of those specs?

Any help would be great!

Those offsets are like 10mm closer to the outer fenders and the wheels are wider and therefore even closer to the fenders. Spacers would make it worse.

However, Falkens run small, so I think this setup will fit but slightly rub mainly in the rear with passengers, etc. A little more camber will fix that rub.

I doubt you'd get much rubbing, probably very minimal at worst.

You will be just fine with those wheel specs. Its the tire sizes that are going to give you trouble. The 235 may fit ok in the front with some minimal rubbing, but the rears are going to be aggressive. We normally recommend 225/40/18 and 245/35/18. Many of our customers choose to run a 255 in the rear with no issues.
