New wheels... VMR V710s

Last night I did a quick shoot with my new wheels. I was on stock 18s until now and am loving these!













She keeps good company...













285s under there.



Fitment Details

G35
- 2003 Sport Coupe, stock suspension and alignment settings
- VMR V710 wheels: 19 x 8.5 +35 front, 19 x 10 +25 rear
- Hankook V12 tires: 255/35/19 front, 285/35/19 rear
- No fitment issues in front. I might add a small spacer to move them out 3-5mm.
- I trimmed the rear fender lip slightly to clear the sidewall of the 285. The tire would start to tuck but the fender lip interfered about 1/3 of the way down the sidewall.
- I think a 275/35 would fit without modification since there would be less sidewall bulge.

GTO
- 2004 M6, very non-stock suspension, stock-ish alignment settings
- VMR V710 wheels: 18 x 8.5 +45 with 3mm spacer front, 18 x 9.5 +50
- Sumitomo HTR-Z II tires: 235/40/18 front, 275/35/18 rear.

Thanks to Kevin at VMR for working with me on sizing/offsets to fit my requirements!

The rims look great on your car. Did you lower the car or is it stock? The height seems good. I am looking for rims but not really interested in lowering it.

Looking good, brother! I almost bought these wheels until I found a good deal on some OEM 19s.
