Thoughts on VMR Wheels for C43 Coupe on H&R Springs
The VMR V804's have really caught my eye. They are flow formed, lightweight at around 23 lbs and a set of four can be had for under 2k. Thoughts?

I just spoke to VMR: For the V804 they can offer
Front: 19x8.5 ET 35
Rear: 19x9.5 ET35 or 45
I think 19x8.5 ET 35 for front and18x9.5 ET 45 for rears would work with that setup?

i really doubt it... while your +30 offset will clear. At +35 that would be 5mm closer to the control arm. I remember my test fit started at +42 with a 7mm spacer. It was rubbing against the control arm. I barely made it with a 10mm spacer and i'm cardboard thin from the control arm.

Thanks guys, I was using previous specs on wheels i found from other users on the c450 wheel thread. Below are three wheel specs which people have used that work, and they seem pretty close to the VMR setup above. thoughts?
1. Front: 19x8.5 +34 - they fit without spacer, but better with 3mm.
Rear: 19x9.5 +50 - no spacer needed at all
2.
Front: 8.5 x 19 45 offset with 11mm spacers
Rear: 9.5 x 19 46 offset no spacers needed
3. Front 19" x 8.5", +34 Offset,
Rear 19" x 9.5", +50 Offset
