Anyone running VMR VB3's 19x10 rears and 19x8.5 fronts?

smellyborrelli · 01-17-2012, 03:38 PM

Im planning on ordering 19x10 et 25 and 19x8.5 et 40 in hyperblack for my silver 07 MC. Im wondering how aggressive people have gone with spacers and tires.

also , will be running HR coils

its a street car, looking to improve looks while not hurting performance

you should be fine. ive ran even more lower offset and bare rub with 245 front 275 rear tires. my tires are tucking front and rear

dubsesd · 01-17-2012, 06:07 PM

you will be good. im running 8.5 et35 front and 9.5 et23 rear on H&R coils to give you an idea

BIMMERGUY91 · 01-18-2012, 12:09 PM

Dubsesd what tire size and aspect ratio are you running?

smellyborrelli · 01-18-2012, 01:42 PM

oh, sorry.. i wasn't clear.. I want to go as agressive as possible with spacers and tires. the wheels and coils are just a starting point

235/35/19 and 275/30/19. no rubbing at all with my offsets either. if i go any more aggresive, i will sacrifice perfermance unless i really alter camber settings. im very happy with the setup

i would leave the back alone, it will be flush. maybe add 8mm spacers up front

smellyborrelli · 01-18-2012, 01:59 PM

dub , didnt you get new wheels? i was considering buying yours a month or so ago

dubsesd · 01-18-2012, 03:37 PM

i did buy new wheels. my old ones still for sale. i bought the same specs though

BIMMERGUY91 · 01-18-2012, 04:53 PM

Did you feel a difference in ride quality with the 19s vs the 18s? How much do those wheels weigh

dubsesd · 01-18-2012, 06:57 PM

better ride quality and less side wall "flex". the wheels are 1-2 pounds heavier than stock, but i dont feel a substantial difference. not sure how much the wheels and tires weigh as a set compared to stock. i will weight them when i have the tires swapped

smellyborrelli · 01-19-2012, 10:59 AM

was it a big difference when you went from the HR springs to the coils? im considering just getting them to save a buck. Since I dont race the car.

dubsesd · 01-19-2012, 12:53 PM

Yes. Coilovers rode smoother, and firmer in turns/steering response. Car looks better as well

Z4-VILLA · 01-21-2012, 10:53 PM

is 19x10 35mm possible? still undecided about the fronts

dubsesd · 01-22-2012, 08:12 AM

will probably rub on the inside fenderwell/strut. you will probably need at least a 8mm spacer.
