Anyone using 18" TRMotorsport MT1

Josephkao · 05-17-2008, 02:52 PM

Are they any good ? The offset and weight looks perfect for 18" setup.

D0WN4IT · 05-17-2008, 02:56 PM

I sold my HRE's and kept them... They are great wheels and look really good on the 335...

What color is your car? Jet Black? The wheels look really good.
What size tires are you running? Do you have TPMS on them?

TofuTurkey · 05-17-2008, 03:26 PM

Looks great, makes me regret a little, not getting them

TPMS will work with them but i left the sensors in my OEM wheels... I am running the 18x8" up front and 18x9.5" rears with 245/275 tires... no rubbing but my quarter panels were rolled when i got the car a while back.. The car is Jet Black by the way...

Those wheels would really show-off a set of bbk's

What tires are you running on the 245/275? I'm thinking about these wheels and possibly 245/265 PS2s or maybe even 275 in the rear. I was thinking of narrowing the front/rear width difference to cut down on understeer. Right now, the stock Bridgestones just plow ahead quite a bit. For a 140 treadwear tire, they sure don't seem to have a ton of grip....

Do you think 245 for the front will rub??

Well, DOWN4IT is running 245 in the front on an E92 and he didn't mention anything about rubbing. I think the E90's have more room front and rear than the E92 for wider tires.

However, I do not want any rubbing issues at all, nor do I want to roll fenders, so that will factor into my tire size and wheel selection.

any other input

Gary@TireRack · 05-27-2008, 01:23 PM

Great pics!

I use the 18x8 on the front for my race tires (SSRs on the rear). They're light and seem like a good bargain. No rubbing problems with 255/35/18 Toyo R888s.

mwahlert · 05-27-2008, 02:45 PM

i just ordered a set from gary today..

18x8et32 235/40
18x8et35 265/35

The front can take 255/35/18, is this a typo ?

I am running 245/45/18 in the front and 275/35/18 in the rear with no rubbing issues at all and i am lowered on coilovers.(PSS9's) Also my rear quarter panels are rolled so that probably helps with no rubbing in the back.

Nice thread + pics. No issues running 245s on 8 in. wheels? It had been recommended to me to try and stick with 8.5 for 245s (esp. for track use).

You dont want to go bigger than a 245 on an 8" width but 245 works fine...

ohsnap · 05-29-2008, 01:19 PM

those wheels look great mounted! i am most likely going with a set for track use. just debating on staggered vs. non right now..

Heat00 · 05-29-2008, 08:12 PM

they do look good, maybe that is my answer too...

mwahlert · 05-30-2008, 11:15 PM

well i don't have any great pics of the car w/ the new wheels yet - but here is a taste

spacedogg · 05-30-2008, 11:17 PM

Looking nice...I like how aggressive they look!

Blk07335i · 05-31-2008, 06:29 AM

How do they drive? Should be significantly lighter.
