Wheel suggestions

Hey all good morning. Looking for wheel suggestions. The style I love are VMR V803s. I've come across a few styles that look exactly like those. I really would appreciate any suggestions of wheels that have that style. I'm looking for more budget friendly (I mean around 1500 for just the wheels).

I'm also looking for 19x9.5 or 10 in the rears only because I'm rwd and not stock. My stock 8.5 rears aren't really hooking up through 2nd.

Finally offset. I'm not that well versed in wheel/suspension mods so I'm looking for an offset to select upon purchase that will pretty much give me a little poke but not too much that'll impede lowering the car. Any help would be awesome thanks!

305Forged FT-101, 19x8.5 +32, 19x9.5 +40, grey or silver

Stance SF07, 19x8.5 custom offset (recommend +32ish), 19x9.5 custom offset (recommend +42ish). grey or bronze. offsets would depend what tire sizes you are planning and how much you're going to lower it.

235/40/19-265/35/19 my favorite size combo for staggered 19", however there are less max perf summer or ultra high performance all season choices in this size combo.

245/40/19-275/35/19. taller combo, closes wheel gaps even if unlowered. links below show, thx@ bmw22915 has stance sf07 with this tire size combo.

245/35/19-275/30/19, lower profile, medium lowering required to reduce wheel gaps with this combo

Added, FWIW VMR is considered budget friendly. you could get v803 in 19x8.5 +35, 19x9.5 +45 in silver or gunmetal as well.

Check with Apex they make some stuff that may work and are very good quality. I forget what number is what wheel but they only have 4 or 5 styles think one is pretty similar - and I have been told the quality of both them and Vorsteiner is better than VMR.

Hi there,

For a staggered 19" F3X setup that will provide a flush fitment and a wider rear tire to put the power down, I would suggest the following ARC-8 wheel sizes and offsets:

Front: 19x9" ET28 with 245/35-19 tires
Rear: 19x9.5" ET33 with 275/35-19 tires
  • Slight front negative camber recommended.
  • Rear rolled fenders or negative camber required.
  • Not compatible with xDrive.

With 245/35-19 front and 275/35-19 rear tires, this setup will offer ample grip and performance over your stock setup. Depending on ride height and tire selection, you may need to dial-in some additional front negative camber, and potentially roll the rear fenders as well.

If you would like to learn a bit more about wheel sizes and offsets pertaining to the F3X chassis, I highly suggest checking out our fitment guide here: https://support.apexraceparts.com/hc/en-us/articles/360002945034-F3x-3-4-Series-Wheel-Tire-Fitment-Guide

If you have any questions, please let us know!
