19'' HRE FF01 wheels on m340i
I want to buy the HRE FF01 wheels in Anthracite but uncertain where to start with regard to front and rear offsets and tires to pair them with and any other considerations. Anyone have these wheels and/or can offer some advice to help a beginner with the aftermarket wheel buying process?
Just doing some research for now and will likely begin to reach out to wheel shops for more assistance later in the process - Thanks **Edit: Reached out to HRE and here's what they said for anyone that's wondering: We unfortunately do not offer a FlowForm fitment for the G20 BMW at this time, but we’ll have fitments for this vehicle in the future. For now, I suggest going with a forged wheel style for your vehicle. Last edited by NoTanks52; 02-21-2020 at 06:24 PM.. |

That's odd, if you go on www.wheelfront.com there a couple of g20 cars with HRE wheels flow form.

"Most" people seem to like things sitting flush or a few mm's tucked in from flush. Once you decide what your end goal is you can start to move on to wheel width and offset. I know this isn't a complete answer to your question but it's a start....you need to move beyond "will they fit" and start to share what you want. Hope this helps a bit ps- I love the HRE FF01 and am really torn between that wheel and the 795M wheel. Similar wheels to my eye but I like the fact that the HRE wheels are wider which would mean I wouldn't have to run spacers (I like a flush look) |

Update 3.3.20 - I connected with HRE again today and they are always very helpful and patient on the phone - kudos to them for great customer service! Anyhoo this is the second time I've been told by HRE that they do not offer their FF wheels in a 5x112 bolt pattern just yet - so I'm not sure what to say....I guess I wait. It's odd because based on other posts here in the forum it would seem the 5x112 is available but I'm not going to argue with the manufacturer about their own product. So I guess disregard my comments about HRE wheels below specifically for now (remember my first call to them I was told they were available it was my two subsequent calls to them I was told they are not).
Looking forward to updated information from anyone here or HRE when it is available. For now hopefully my sizing logic below helps a bit Sooooo in that I am in the market as well I figured I'd dig in a bit and share what I found out, this should help.....the FF01's only come in: -20 x 9: et35 -20 x 9: et25 -20 x 10.5: et35 HRE claims that the 20 x 10.5 et is too aggressive for the rear which means with the 20" only a square setup would work (9" wide Front and Rear). That said the 19" options are pretty good at -19 x 8.5: et25 -19 x 9.5: et42 Now we can compare that to a stock 19" 792M wheel with spacers (Like some here are running to get things flush) -19 x 8: et27 with 15 spacer = et: 12 -19 x8.5: et40 with 13 spacer = et: 27 So punching the aforementioned into a wheel offset calculator, when comparing a oem 792 "flush" setup achieved with spacers vs the HRE 19" offering we get the following: -Front inner clearance would be: 19mm less -Front outer position would retract by: 7mm -Rear inner clearance would be: 28mm less -Rear outer position would retract by: 2mm If I were to run this setup (which I may) I would run a 5mm spacer in the front on HRE FF01's which would give me a fitment very close to flush front and rear. For reference here are the 792M wheels with spacers that I used as a starting point. Remember the HRE's (with a 5mm spacer in front) would be 2mm Front & Rear more tucked (however the overall wheel width would be wider which is always nice) vs these pictures - which would be perfect for me.

This is incredibly helpful Chenry, thank you! How does the calculation to achieve a flush look change if we use 19x9 in front? I’m aware these sizes might not be available in the FF01, but trying to wrap my head around these fitment calculations in case I explore other wheels and sizes. |

We have a pretty good idea of how to achieve a flush look on front (based on my calcs, please confirm and or anyone correct me if I'm wrong) it's 19 x 8 = et: 12 Now using a wheel offset calculator you can start to play around with different wheel widths and offset scenarios. This calculator is pretty good but there are many others out there. https://www.1010tires.com/Tools/Whee...et-Calculator# ps-remember if you start playing around with spacer scenarios on the calculator adding a spacer decreases the offset :-). (example a wheel with an offset of 40mm running a 15mm has an effective offset of 25mm again all I try to help where I can but I am not an expert - please please update any of the info here if you find it to be incorrect |

Hey guys, I’m looking at vff112 from Vorsteiner now.
They offer 19x8.5 with 20 offset in front And 19x9.5 with 35 offset in the rear. I don’t plan to use any spacers.. How do you think this will look? And how far from flush will it be? |

At the end of the day it's very subjective - some like poke - some like stretch - some like flush - some like tuck etc No right or wrong - just a matter of what you are after - looks? performance? staggered? Square? etc With more info maybe someone here can help :-) ps- nice wheel you are looking at |

Would these work on a RWD M340i?
Rear 19x9.5 et45 5x112 with 66.56 hub bore +8mm closer to fender +18mm closer to the strut https://www.vividracing.com/hre-ff10...152669632.html 275/35/19 Front 19x9 et 35 5x112 with 66.56 hub bore +5mm closer to the fender +18mm closer to the strut https://www.vividracing.com/hre-ff10....html?cat=6424 245/40/19 I don't want a "flush" look, but less tucked than stock would be nice. I also like meaty, not stretched tires Last edited by siegester; 11-22-2020 at 12:05 PM.. |

Mine HRE FF10 would be installed when my M340i arrives with the following spec:
F: 20x9 ET25 (245/35/R20) R: 20x10.5 ET35 (275/30/R20) funny thing the rep. is really sure they will fit but some of the comments above states they won't (rear wheel is the main concern)... I did use some rim/wheel websites to do the math on the difference of the 792M (OEM) and FF10 and it does look fine to me...or am I missing anything? |
