dang that sucks, but thanks for letting me know! wonder why they switched things up like that?

Mercedes and the Volkswagen Group use the 5x112mm bolt pattern And Mercedes and Audi use the same centrebore. Likely it is easier to get better supplier prices when using a configuration that is more of a standard.

that makes sense. actually that makes me think I have a set of wheels from my wife's 2017 audi a3 that might fit.

Actually I think the A3 uses the VW centrebore of 56.1 with it being on the Golf MQB platform, as opposed to the larger Audis, but it is worth checking.

question for VMR: do you make any 19" wheels that fits the M235i GC yet?

[Bcbecker3983]

2016 M235i xdrive... stuck height, daily driver looking for summer set up.... staggered vs. Square set up... benefits or downfalls? I did look through about half the pages, but was hoping to hear some opinions.. looking at V703 19"

I did v710 19x8.5 et35 + 3mm spacer (=et42) 235/35/19 and 19x9.5 et50 265/30/19 and it's fantastic. I would never consider 225/255 on the same width personally, there's so little sidewall even with 235/265. This v710 fitment is off the shelf and as close to perfect for a 2 series as you can get. Not a single rub or contact ever even with front adjustable camber/caster bushings. I'll try to post a pic (seems to be hard on a phone)

Edit: also on dinan springs, but with 5mm rear spring spacers

Bought these a few weeks back but just got around to putting them on.

V703 19x8.5 ET40 Pilot 4S 225/35-19
V703 19x9.5 ET45 Pilot 4S 255/30-19

I think maybe the rears have way too much poke but I am going to give it week or so.

Could you post more photos from the side, so we can all appreciate those beauties

No issues at all with stock fitment and looks great with the staggered set-up. Literally plug and play with stock M235i. The guys at VMR were awesome to work with and got my wheels to me very quickly.

What tire sizes did you use for this setup? It looks good. Did you need camber or any mods? Also, did the wheel tire combo help the car handle better or feel more stable?
My car has 225/40/18 run flats all around. Can't wait to ditch them.

Are these gunmetal or gloss anthracite?
What offsets, size and tire size?
List in modifications if any please.

[brakthru]

Anyone running 18x8.5 235/40 front and 18x9.5 rear 265/35 on stock sports suspension without rubbing or issues? Please advise if you had to use negative camber or mods. Im thinking et 40 front and et 50 rear. Thanks.

I do not rub!!!! no noise. I do push hard. I do love it

positive feedback or advice only. I will continue to run w/o spacers until anything comes up. PSI is ~30F/36R cold.... ~32F/38R Hot

Did you mean your running 265/35/18 rears?

just bought my 2019 m240ix. already looking for wheels. I love the vmr look. my car came with 19s but the fronts are x7.5 and the rears are x8. I would like to have a wider tire but idk if its worth it. I also plan on doing some autox but with these tires at 30 series I can feel the sidewall folding during hard cornering. wondering if I should just use these 19s for my winter set and buy either 18s or 19s for summer. or should I just keep these 19s and maybe buy better tires for them and buy a winter setup. ???

If your 30 series sidewall is folding, you probably just need better tires. I track my car on staggered 19 inch VMRs and have no issues. I use Michelin PS4s.

If you just do occasional autox then stick with the wheels you have.
