New wheels!

DanoG80Cx · 10-30-2015, 05:53 PM

Finally after a long wait because they were backordered I got a chance to get my new wheels installed and wash/wax the car. Excuse the photo quality since they were taken with my phone.

VMR VB3 19x8.5 ET40 in the front, 19x9.5 ET33 in the rear wrapped in Hankook Ventus V12 Evo^2. 235/35 front and 265/30 in the rear.

It may need a drop now though, the front gap is pretty huge. I already scrape in my girlfriends driveway now though.

Very nice. Can't go wrong with those wheels. Thought about adding some spacers to push them out a bit? The offset should have been a little more aggressive. Crispy clean ride!

Now that they are installed I definitely thought about it. I honestly thought the et33 in the rear would have been a bit more aggressive. I knew I'd need one for the front since they don't make these wheels with a 35 offset.

They look great. Congrats

wdeerfield · 10-30-2015, 08:59 PM

car looks great and the wheels are a nice addition. i have that offset in the front and paired it with a 12.5mm spacer and it sits pretty perfect.

Need et 35 in the front.....grab the supreme lowering perches which drop the from 1/2 inch or so. And a Arkym style lip.

mike@x-ph.com · 10-31-2015, 02:36 PM

Looks great

Teufel_Hunden · 11-01-2015, 01:44 PM

Yes, the suspension is completely stock, at least for the time being.

Can't go wrong with CSL-style wheels. Looks great!

Absolutely do, lowers the front 1/2 inch, no alignment needed no need to screw around with shocks and springs. On a rwd BMW it makes it rake better.

Underground6t9 · 11-03-2015, 07:32 AM

Ok cool im going to give them a try.

^ nailed it

You truly can't go wrong. I was leaning towards CSL-style wheels before I found my CCW D15's and fell in love. Your wheels and car look great, congrats!

DanoG80Cx · 11-03-2015, 06:44 PM

How do those lowering perches work? I've never heard of them. Are they something I can install myself?

Thanks for all the kind words. I still can't believe how much better these Hankooks are compared to the stock RFT's I had.

ChazCulver · 11-04-2015, 10:51 AM

Love it. I'm looking to put 19's on my e92 soon =)

bo1o02 · 11-13-2015, 04:28 PM

Did you ever add spacers or lower you car? I just added 19" to mine and am thinking of doing so. I'm on msport suspension so I'm not sure what I could get away with spacer-wise?

DanoG80Cx · 12-17-2015, 01:17 PM

Haven't had a chance to do anything yet. In the process of moving into a new place. Maybe next summer. Sorry, let me know what you decide to go with though.

It's kind of a pain in the ass, but it can be done with at home. You need a spring compressor, and basic air tools. You pretty much pull the stock spring and strut out as one unit, you then compress the spring until the hat comes off easily....you take the supreme perch and replace the stock hat, then put it back in the car. If you don't mess with much in the wheel well you won't need an alignment. The supreme perch allowed the spring to sit higher in the shock tower, which results in a lower front ride height without compressing the stock shock and spring. All 3 of my 335's had these with stock msport suspension. All 3 of my cars were also rwd. If they were xdrive I would have definitely done coil overs. Do some beefy sway bars, a front and rear shock strut support and you don't need aftermarket suspension.
