Hi guys,

If i ordered a set of VMR 710 wheels for my E90 335i, what size exactly do i need?

I know im gonna get the 18 inch but what ET and 8.5J stuff etc etc

18x8.5 ET35 5x120 72.6
5x120 Bolt Pattern, 72.6mm Center Bore.

18x9.5 ET45 5x120 72.6
5x120 Bolt Pattern, 72.6mm Center Bore.

18x9.5 ET22 5x120 72.6
5x120 Bolt Pattern, 72.6mm Center Bore.

18x9.5 ET33 5x120 72.6
5x120 Bolt Pattern, 72.6mm Center Bore.

18x9.5 ET50 5x120 72.6
5x120 Bolt Pattern, 72.6mm Center Bore.

Im gonna do the narrows and wides so i assume 2 will be the 8.5J and the rears will be 9.5J, but hey, i have no clue :)

front 18x8.5 et 35

rears 18x9.5 et 33

But why not 19s? I had the vmr 18s on my e46, and even there it looked too small.
The cost isnt much difference.

offsets would be 35-40 in front and around 35 at the back.
Are you planning to drop the car?

I think you would regret buying the 18s after a week.. Really.

what colour are u gna take?

OK cool

Cant find an ET 35 9.5J for the rear, only 19" 9.5J ET 33?????
And the front will be 19" 8.5J ET 40 right?

Will do a drop but not straight away, will they rub with the 19's?
Im basically sold on the matte black but the gunmetal also looks nice

Thing is, im also in 2 minds about the VMR710 and the VMR VB3 CSL Style Wheels , they both look sooooooo good :drool:

ok, then 33 is fine..
On the lci, its a tight fit, but on pre lci, u shouldnt have a problem

On the fronts i prefer a 35et, but 40 works fine.
Might want to add a 5mm spacer.. But not really necessary.

I think the 710 is a good choice, as csl is very common locally.
