FYI

I have just bought VF103s and Vorsteiner reps advised me they now use a 9” front for the M2s – as opposed to the 9.5”. They explained that it’s a better fit overall and works perfectly with a 245 or 255 tyre. The 9.5” still works, but the cars they have used needed a bit of camber up front to keep them flush.

I'm not mucking around with suspension / camber mods so I opted for 19x9 ET22 and 19x10.5 ET34 sizing front and rear with 255 tyre front and 285 tyre rear.

ETA any day

Lastly, can I reuse the stock tyres? If not which sized recommend tyres?

Thanks!
Apologies if I confused you...

Yes as the last poster said 19x9.5 et 22 front, 19x10.5 et 35 rear with stock tires would look perfect. It is what he and I are running....

I was just saying I got too high an offset first and was so unhappy I bought new front wheels...

And I was trying to give you an idea where they would sit. It'd be like 14.25 mm spacers front and 11.25 rear. Which is agressive but you wont have to worry about ruubbing,even if lowered as I am, and I even just ordered 15mm spacers for the rear (with a 10mm wider tire too) but measured and rear wells are very big on M2.
Are you saying the rear can fit a 19x10.5 then on a +10 since you got a 15mm spaced?

Congratulations, looks great.

My wheels arrived today but I am away. I had OEM MPSS tyres fitted, 275 rears and 255 fronts.

Going in for Opticoat Pro+ Thursday and I'll fit them Saturday. Will post some photos then.

Dealer who advised me to use 285 wide tyres now suggesting 275s. And maybe 1 degree camber.

275s will stretch the tyre and the tyre should be (just) inside the guard. Technically rim still illegal though... and a camber change means "modifications to suspension " and insurance becomes a nightmare, and tyre wear will be terrible.

Your car is obviously lowered but how did the wheel with same offset not extend past the wheel arch? Did you machine 3-4mm off the back of the wheel boss?

Love your advice mate

Maybe try and find a local machine shop to face off 10mm off the inside of the wheel?

Hello,
My car now is not as lowered as the pictures.
The wheel it's a little out of the car but I have to mesure it.
Vorsteiner have a vff-103 with the factory rear settings.
I'm running stock tyres.
The m2 have a lot of camber from factory I wouldn't play with it...

A 10.5" ET35 will stick outside the fender unless it is lowered and maybe some camber. It is nothing wrong, that is just their spec of the wheel.

Seems the fitment is "as designed" based on the several calls / emails I've made, but I guess a few mm here or there are not considered an issue in most countries. Unfortunately I live in the state of Victoria which has the highest number of speed cameras in the world per capita. The cops are just revenue machines and I figure it is just a matter of time until I get pulled over and fined.

For the record, the wheel supplier was given the same info I was and is being really good about it and has offered me a full refund...

However, I have decided to fit the wheels and take them to a local wheel specialist for an alignment. Given all the people on the internets saying it fits perfectly for them I suspect my factory alignment might be out a tad. I'll check that and then decide whether I go back to 275s... If a correct alignment brings the top of tyre in 3-4mm i think it will be ok - and 275s would then definitely bring the tyres well within the top of guard...

Thanks for all the comments and advice!

Yeah, a lot of people on here seem to like the "poke look" so they say it fits just fine as long as it doesn't rub. I personally hate the look as you can see the wheels outside the fender.

My wheels are pretty much flush on my lowered car (aligned to factory spec) and I have a slightly more conservative fitment than what you have so it will be hard to get them to fit inside the fenders without lowering but with a bit of camber and narrower tires you should get quite close at least. This is also the reason I went with the M Performance suspension, it comes with papers to be OEM suspension so its perfectly legal for us to use. You will probably get away with other parts too here but if they are picky they can force you to change it back.
