Volk Racing VR Forged Progressive ME 18x8 +40 / 18x9 +42 Gladiator X-Comp RS 225/40R18 / 235/40R18 Stock suspension Flush stance
2006 BMW 325i
This 2006 BMW 325i is running Volk Racing VR Forged Progressive ME, staggered: 18x8 +40 up front and 18x9 +42 in the rear, wrapped in 225/40R18 front and 235/40R18 rear Gladiator X-Comp RS tires.
It sits on stock suspension with a flush stance, meaning the wheel face lines up with the fender.
If you are searching for BMW 325i wheel fitment, Volk Racing VR Forged Progressive ME on a BMW 325i, 18x8 +40 wheels on a 325i, or what tire size goes with that setup, this build is a real-world answer, photographed and measured by the owner.
The wheels are 18-inch in diameter and 8 inches wide with a +40 offset up front, and 18-inch by 9 inches at +42 in the rear.
A +40 offset on a 8-inch wide wheel puts the wheel face in a mild push toward the fender. Lower offset moves the wheel outward; higher offset tucks it in. The rear +42 offset on the 9-inch wheel keeps the rear in line with the front.
Volk Racing VR Forged Progressive ME 18x8 +40 on a BMW 325i is a common 325i question, and this page shows exactly how it sits, how it clears, and what the owner changed to make it work.
The tire size is 225/40R18 front and 235/40R18 rear: a 225 mm section width with a 40 aspect ratio on the 18-inch wheel, which gives a meaty fit (the tire is wider than the wheel, so the sidewall bulges a little and gives more cushion).
The owner chose Gladiator X-Comp RS. We stock Ironman IRON iMOVE Gen 3 AS 225/40ZR18XL at $89 each in this size, and other 225/40R18 tires through the 225/40R18 tire search.
