VMR V705 on EB M235i

snodgrass23 · 10-24-2014, 05:19 PM

The wheels are VMR V705 in gunmetal. The sizes are 18x8.5 ET35 on front and 18x9.5 ET45 on the rear. Tires are stock sizes, 225 on front and 245 on rear. I'll definitely move up at least a size on the rear for the next set of tires.

I'll also say that Mitch at VMR wheels was excellent to work with.

I've always wanted to know what my S4's rims would look like on my M235 (although mine are 19s).

Looks awesome!

Too much stretch on the rears

Yeah, I plan on going to at least 255 and ideally 265 on the rear if I think I have the clearance. I'm getting an alignment this week, so I'll be able to tell better then.

Those VMR's are nice, hot, smoking wheels. They are nice and simple, and would also be good for a winter wheel set

Here are a couple more from different angles.

Car looks awesome, Jim! Loving the VMR V705 Gunmetal + EB

escobar929 · 10-27-2014, 07:08 PM

Perfect!

255 in the rear would be a good upgrade for sure

Beautiful car, love how flush the wheels sit with the offset. Any spacers needed or was VMR able to make them sit that way?

No spacers.

The rims look so good that I am interested in getting a set of 4 for the 18" (225/45) winter tires for my 2014 235 (built after Mar '14) as well. I think I 'll need 4 18x8.5 (wheel size) rims. I have the following questions:
1. What bolt pattern, wheel offset, hub bore are your rims?
2. Was there any problem installing the rims to the car? Are the original bolts/nuts able to be used?

Tks.

All the specs you need are in the first post. The guys at VMR will take good care of you, you don't need to worry about all the other specs like bolt pattern and hub bore. Just tell them you have a m235i and they'll know what you need.

Wow, the gunmetal looks great on the estoril blue! Nice setup

DS_BMW · 11-08-2014, 10:36 AM

Looks awesome! Stock suspension? Front tires look a different tread pattern than PSS? All I would do is replace the front reflectors.

Dinan suspension.

The front tires are brand new here, probably why they look different. I got a nail in one of them that couldn't be repaired. That's actually why I also decided to get the wheels now. I figured if I was getting some tires changed out anyway, might as well have them mount some new wheels too.
