so i got the cv1 matte black 20x9 front 32 offset and 20x10.5 rear 42 offset
and this car is getting lowered today and tomorrow with all the goodies full coilovers (BC) kinetix camber caster rods, A arms up front and rear toe arms, you name it. so i put on the brand new vossens with 245/35/20 up front and 285/30/20 rear and wow it looks so bad!!! and i mean terrible, wheel is sticking out like crazy in the rear. i dont know how this wheel is gonna look flush. im contemplating getting a whole new set of wheels. i dont think these are for me. i would have stretched the tire in the rear with a 255 or 275 but i cant cause its awd so now im really upset!


check out the pics!!!! btw there up for sale in the classifieds if anyone is interested.

 

once you drop it the wheels will tuck into the fender a little but that rear looks pretty off. some of the better wheel gurus can chime in though.

 

thats the highest offset vossen makes......... and now they dont wanna make good on there screw up. they offered to give me a 9" rear wheel..... which doesnt even look concave. im sick of this i knew i shoudl have just went with a forged wheel.

 

I think it looks really good lol

 

First, drop it and GET ALLIGNMENT DONE (Allignment seems off thats why it looks like that)
and go carwash and do tire shine thingy, brand new tires look really dirty and ugly.

 

if you wanna sell them let me know! located in upstate ny

 

Drop it, get an alignment, THEN make a decision on whether you like it or not.

+42 is conservative, even on a sedan.

 

Agreed, it has the potential to look real nice with a drop... right now it just looks like a truck lol

 

when i had my first 20"s on with out a drop. I was freaking disappointed.
but after drop. you will see..
Drop is the one that makes car look different. Wheels not as much.

 

Drop it like its hot...

 

ya thats what vossen just said, but idk man i cant see a drop making this happen. i hope it does i put alot of real hard work and money into making this venture happen. i just want it to look nice and drive even nicer! so sick to my stomach right now

 

debating the sale its in the classified forum with my contact info!!! let me know

 

im gonna have the drop and alignment done tomorrow or wednesday morning the latest and i will post pics and a full write up of how it rides and handles!

 

I test fitted a 20x10 +43mm offset with 275/30/20 last week on my sedan and felt it should work fine. Just be sure to tell the guy doing the alignment to dial-in a little bit of negative camber and I think you'll be good to go. Im only lowered about 1.3" in the rear though.

I was thinking another option is to stretch a 255/30 on the rear and maybe run a 225/35 on the front. Should still be less than a 0.2" difference in diameter. Not sure if you wanna to roll with the stretched tire look though.

 

So the fact that it's an X sedan, would that be a major contributor to the look? Would a 9 inch rim be better? Just playing Devils Advovate.
