New set of VMRs, Need your spacer recommendations!

RonDeezy · 04-25-2012, 01:49 AM

Just recently bought a set of VMR VB3's but currently not liking the front offset, not enough poke! Would you guys recommend running a 5mm or 10mm hubcentric spacer up front? I want to achieve a flush look...

Specs:
Fronts: 19x8.5 +40 235/35/r19
Rears: 19x9.5 +33 265/30/r19

I would measure your clearance to make sure (so you don't rub with your drop), but when my brother used a 8.5 +40et, we measured at least another 10mm before a flush look is achieved on his E92 with H&R springs.

7mm with a hub extender?

If you were buying new wheels, why didn't you order in the more aggressive offset?

for vmr vb3s they only offer a +40 or +20 offset for 19x8.5's and IMO +20 is a bit too crazy for a lci

Im currently running vb3's 19x8.5 et40 up front with a 12mm spacer lowered on eibachs with 235/35 falkens fits perfect the rear is 19x10 et38 with 10mm spacer 275/35 with slight fender roll and i think i can actually run 285 falkens though hope this helps.

+20 offset would've been perfect from personal experience. For now, you can probably put a 15mm spacer up front and it will give you semi flushed look. For the rears, put a 10mm spacer and you should be golden.

15mm spacer up front, 10mm spacer in rear.
roll fenders.
get mild stretch on tires.
dump the car.

done.

MRRwheels · 04-25-2012, 02:13 PM

your car standard should be runing a 35et.

Montego13 · 04-25-2012, 02:17 PM

On my previous post i meant 275/30 in the rear. My bad!

Add a 10mm up front if you don't want to roll your fenders if you want to roll I'd go for a 15 up front and 10 in the rear

EYE4SPEED · 04-25-2012, 06:57 PM

I have a set of 15mm with bolts for you - click my sig.

ModBargains.com · 04-25-2012, 08:59 PM

A 10mm spacer up front would definitely do the job!

Pcemkr · 04-25-2012, 09:32 PM

You bought 8.5" et40 and you're surprised they're sunken in?

You need a 25mm spacer to be truly flush.
