Hi all, I just had BMW install my wheels from my trade in. Here are some pics after specs...
19x8.5 et 35 235/35R19
19x9.5 et 45 265/30R19
Conti extreme contact DW rubber.

I noticed not many wheel pics yet, so I'm sharing mine.

Wow, that looks sick, I thought VMR said only the 705s would fit on the 2 series, anyway, very nice!

Congrats on the wheels. You're right, there's not many people running aftermarket wheels. So hats off to you sir for going out on a limb.

Funny, I contacted VMR 2 months ago about the 710's and they told me they wouldn't fit the 2 series. I'm glad to see they're wrong.

Is there still room for the car to be lowered without fender modification and/or excessive camber?

Looks great!

now I have hope my 701s will fit

[NiceGuyEddie]

Looks really cool - thanks for sharing. This will be a popular thread.

I can see why they said they wouldn't fit. Et45 9.5 looks really aggressive. With lowered suspension I bet that will cause problems.

Looks good though and at least people are starting with wheels

You're correct the rear is very aggressive and lowering isnt an option while these wheels are on... but I'm cool with that.

Looks awesome, thanks for posting. I have been waiting to see how the CSL style wheels would look on the 2 series. This is the exact style of wheel I want to put on mine but black.

very nice =)

[M.barnes]

looking forward to seeing the guy who was having ET35 wheels made by ADV1 for his m235i!

^ if he's gonna lower on 19x9.5 et35, his tires will have to be stretched. I'm thinking of going 19x8.5 et35.

[M.barnes]

Yeah 9.5 would need et40 I reckon, but must be easier to just go 9" and have some room

no, even et 40 for 9.5 is too low. According to OP, his 19x9.5 et 45 is already too wide. won't be driveable if lowered. You might get by with 19x9 et 40.

[M.barnes]

Sorry meant et50 lol. Stupid offsets!

[maddoc]

I'd be curious to see this in person. It seems like a little negative camber would assist in fitting lowered.

[jeffs42885]

What is the bolt pattern for these wheels?

[Johnnohoff]

5x120mm

[Cripple]

how much clearance on the strut side of the rear do you have?

Do you have any more pictures, I'd be interested to see how big the V710s look at 19" from the side/ or on profile, thanks!
