It's difficult to get the weight of an 18" mesh wheel down that far without sacrificing strength and durability. If you are looking for something in the sub 20 pound range, I would recommend our V804! These weigh in at 18.5 lbs.

I'm running staggered oem tires 225/40/18 and 245/35/18. I prefer not to have my tires stretched because my car isn't lowered. Do you think I should go with square set up 18x8.5 +35 OR 18x8.5 +35 FRONT and 18x9.5 +45 REAR? Thanks

225 stretches on 8.5” wheels. 245 stretches on 9.5” wheels. If you’ll use the factory tires, you’re best option would be a square 8.5” wheel and when you need new tires just buy square then (235)

Ill have to double check later, but I literally popped the caps off from the OEM 436M wheels when I bought my new car from BMW Toronto a few years back; and they were about 1-2mm smaller in diameter.

I have the exact same question - looking to get the V801 18" in Titanium Black Shadow and looking for spec advice for the current same stock Michelin PSS staggered tires. Thank you!

Nope, max in front with 8.5” wheel is et40-42. Back it would be fine though. Could always do a spacer on the front.

I would recommend a square setup using the recommended 18x8.5 ET35 in the front and rear. This will accommodate your stock tires without any issues! I'll send you a quote shortly!

The ET45 would require a 3mm spacer in the front in order to clear the suspension. It will work just fine on the rear without and spacers, but you may be able to fit a small spacer in the rear.

When my OE (225/245) MPSS tires need to be replaced, I want to go with Michelin AS 3+ in 235/40/18 front and 255/35/18 rear, so I need to replace my OE wheels as well.
I'm interested in the V701s in matte black.
I don't want any stretch or poke. So, ideally, I'd like 18x8 front and 18x8.5 rear, in offsets that would give me flush fitment.
Are those sizes and offsets available? If not, what are my options?
Is it possible to get a complete package, i.e. wheel, tire and TPMS sensor sets assembled, mounted, balanced and ready to bolt on?
Thanks

Here are a couple of shots that show how gunmetal looks depending on the light conditions. Same car, same day

Are these the FF wheels or just gunmetal?

What size?

I have a white M235i, and just ordered a set of 19" 710FF, can't wait to get them.

Is that V804 wheel coming in at 18" or 19"... also is that 8.5 or 9.5 width?
