VMR V710 Rims Need help!!

[haroonzareef]

Hey guys,

I just bought a new 2012 jetta 2.5 two weeks ago and i want to install 18" VMR V710 rims. I went to the dealer they told me the rim needs to be a 50 offset. It's hard to find 50 offset did anyone else run into this problem as well? any suggestions?

Thanks

Just get any offset 42 or higher.

[haroonzareef]

thank you azthegame. When i get the rims i'll post some pics.

[haroonzareef]

what kinda rims do you have?

[ripNdip]

vmr offers a +45 so you will be fine.

[haroonzareef]

thanks ripndip

You should have no problem with 45 VMR's. I'm running VMR's on my daily and they've been great. Good guys at VMR also. I get alot of compliments on the wheels.

[haroonzareef]

Whick model did u get?

[VMRWheels]

You'll be safe running an 18x8.5 ET45 or 19x8.5 ET45 VMR setup.

We have many models to choose from in our 3 standard finishes, Hyper Silver, Gunmetal, & Matte Black.

18x8.5 ET45 V710s with 225/40/18 tires would be a direct bolt-on fitment for your car that I could guarantee to have no rubbing issues on stock suspension.

Feel free to shoot me a PM or give me a call at 714-442-7916 ext 108 if you have any questions or would like a pricing quote.

What size tire is recommended for the vmr setup? Will I need spacers for the rears?

Im running 18x8.5" VMR V710 w/ a 45 offset front and rear with no spacers and its pretty flush. The tires in the pictures are 225/40/18 and i like them, but occasionally rub on potholes with the height im at.

Can anyone tell what kind of set up this guy is sitting on. I want to sit just like that on vmr 710s

[turbopanda]

my setup is 19x8.5 +35 - i think 19's look better than 18's... but to each their own! VMR is the best company ever =]

Any rubbing issues with your offset... And how low are you?

[JAndre18]

Turbopanda what size tire are you running on those rims?
nice set up!

[turbopanda]

Im on 225/35

Im on raceland coilovers and the spring rate sucks so I do have rubbing issues... ive rolled and pulled fenders and now i just need to run some 215s and the problem will be solved. And im dropped about 2.5-3inches

Hello I was wondering if you have stock suspension or did you put lowering springs on it? looking pretty sweet.

I hope I don't need to roll or pull fenders . What's difference between 215 and 225? I read up on tire measurements. Is that the width of tire? If so, with a 8.5 rim, is there stretching? I'm an amateur there so...I don't know much about that or stretching pros and cons

Looks awesome man

Wow turbopanda, thanks, I really thought I had it figured out with the 18's in gunmetal, have the same car and tint, now I don't even know my name. Thanks a lot!

Still going with the 18's though. Not ready to get into all of that to get there. Looks incredible though.

[regina105]

anyone knows approximately the weight of each wheel?

[VeeDubbinU]

VMRs? like 24lbs for a 18 and 27lbs for a 19. Dependent on width.

Just out of curiosity, have you noticed any difference in fuel economy when you switched up to those 18"s? I think those wheels are awesome and have been eying them for a while, but I drive my 2.5 a LOT and don't really want to sacrifice my mileage just for looks.

I don't have VMRs but I have 18s, and I really haven't noticed any difference.

Yeah it's stock ride height at the moment, naw I wish it was a GLI just a 2.5. I love the wheels a lot
