    VMR rims offset

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I'm looking at 19"x8.5 VMR V710 and VB3.
    still deciding which one to pick, however they have different offset options(ET).
    They have different options for ET (V710 - 35mm and 45mm) / (VB3 40mm and 45mm)

    What does that ET means ? wider ET means wider rims ?

    Which option should I pick to have best stance of the car.

    P.S: which tire offset do you guys recommend ?

    ET means offset. This site explains it better. http://www.nice-wheels.co.uk/pcdandoffset.html

    V710 with ET35 is your only option off the shelf, but it's the best option in terms offset that will give you the best stance!

    Your A5/S5 requires a 66.6 centerbore and only the V710 19x8.5 ET35 are available with that, all your other choices come with a 57.1 centerbore. You can always bore out the 57.1 options, but you are better off just getting them with the required 66.6 centerbore.

    The thing is, I don't think VMR has any of these wheels bored out to 66.6 from the factory just yet. I think they are all 57.1 from the manufacture and then bored to 66.6 here upon request and for an additional charge.

    I believe they have they have a few options bored out to 66.6 from the factory for select models. 19x8.5 ET35 5x112 CB66.6 V710's being one of the models

    That's good news. Hopfully this will trickle down the the V718's soon as I have been waiting to make a purchase since the start of the year.

    Wow, how did I not see this thread!

    Currently, we do offer the V701, V708, and the V710 in a factory 66.6 though we can have any of our wheels bored to the proper size with absolutely zero negative drawbacks with regards to fit and drivability

    tiki - If you ever have any questions, don't hesitate to give us a call or shoot me a PM directly, I'll always be able to help you out! ET is essentially the German abbreviation for offset, though it is commonly used worldwide. If you ever see any numbers with a "+" before, this will also indicate offset, such as +35 which is the same as ET35.

    For the B8 platform, the proper size we recommend is the 18/19x8.5 +35 5x112 66.6 for a perfect fit that won't cause any sort of rubbing issues.
