VMR Wheels - VB3 19x9.5 19x10 on E92 335i
We took the time this week to take some quick shots of my daily driver, an '07 E92 335i running a super aggressive fitment. The car originally had 19x8.5 ET40 and 19x9.5 ET33, but I decided to go crazy on the concavity
Wheel Specs: Front Wheels: VMR Wheels VB3 19x9.5 ET33 Front Tires: 235/35/19 General Exclaim UHP Rear Wheels: VMR Wheels VB3 19x10 ET38 + 5mm Spacer (19x10 ET33) Rear Tires: 265/30/19 General Exclaim UHP After 200-300 miles of driving, I can report no rubbing.... fenders are not rolled either! Same tires before/after, and as expected, no change in performance or handling characteristics. Have a great long weekend |

That's friggin AMAZING!!!!
You've got the same (potential) contact area on your fronts as I have on my rears Edit: while I've got your attention, what is your honest opinion of the General UHPs for a daily driver? I've read so many mixed reviews of these tires... |

Thanks!! The 235/35/19 is a good starting point for the 9.5's. I'm going to play with different tire sizes over the next few weeks. I've got everything here
To answer your question on the UHP's - they are great daily drivers. The fronts are about 50% worn and the rear is about 75% worn, and there is no road noise whatsoever. As far as grip goes, they are just fine for daily driving. I would say that the grip is comparable to stock tires, depending on what they came with of course. I'm also not a very conservative driver and in my opinion its great for the money. After I lower the car, I'm going to switch to a 245/275 combination Quote:

^^ I'm not having a problem with 9.5" up front (not lowered) so 9.0" front will not be a problem for you. 9.0 isn't remotely an issue for the rear.

Any chance you'd mount 255 star specs on front and see how it goes?
And if so, could you take a few close-up pics of the front fender area? -scheherazade |

I wouldn't be surprised if there was a 255 in the corner. (and you might be curious to see how it fits too) -scheherazade |

any shots of the wheels straightened out, looking at it directly down the side?
good job on the 9.5's, I tried putting a wider front on and had inside clearance issues with my coilovers If you decide to lower it, be careful, don't wanna crack your front fender (i've been there, done that) |

Hey so you're not lowered on anything? It looks suprisingly great for stock suspension and I think for the coupe ZSP and no ZSP have the same suspension set up right?
