Looks very nice man. Only gripe is that the bumper looks like it sits higher than the sides. That rear shot is sexy though.

Oh ok, damn, you guys and your CV1's. Is Vossen publicly traded yet? I need to buy some stock baby! I had never even heard of Vossen before I joined this forum. I'm seeing them all over here.

Hi Stanced370z

What's your thoughts on cv1s +20+25 with 245/275 tires on an eibach drop? Does it apply to your statement below about it looking dumb with those low offsets?

"but a lot of ppl r on eibachs with low offsets and it looks dumb"

u have a ton of space between the tire and fender still and need to be lower and space the wheels out if you want to pull off that stanced and flush look. you can easily fit a 275 back there with just the removal of the bumper bracket and will look much better. and not you pcasey, but a lot of ppl r on eibachs with low offsets and it looks dumb, imo. they're doing it all wrong. but u need to tuck that tire and space them out cause u have a good .5"-1" of space between tire and fender before being flush.

EDIT*: I know that a 275 fits on a 10.5 with a +25 with -2.2 camber and no rubbing whatsoever on falkens. My friend VONYC has this setup and all he needed was to relocate the bumper bracket.

cuz they would poke out to much, it doesnt look right. that drop dont make any difference, your wheels dont even camber in really. you would be better off just gettn normal offsets

^Why not just do what you want and what you like? Too conservative to some, is perfect to others. Who cares what youve been "told". There is no right or perfect to way to do it. Thats why there is so many different styles man!

With eibachs it will poke out and look funny. The front you'll be fine with, but the rear might poke out too much. A +42 rear is conservative unless you want to compensate with some 305 tires which also looks good. It all depends on your taste, but I highly discourage stretching and poking with an eibach drop.

+1^^ i have seen it in person. it looks good but sticks out a bit too much. best bet is to get coils then you can adjust as needed

Dont think it's too conservative at all. I went with 32/42 to get the proper size tire without stretch, or rubbing with my drop.
Look at pcasey's initial thread where he took detailed side shots.
The 'movement' now is the poke+ stretch look.
Again compare pics and do what u feel is best b

Guys I have had both now 32 / 42 and now 20/25. I seriously like both, with 32/42 you can get camber kits and make it a little better or down the road you can get spacers if you want. It still looks really good plus you can run some pretty good tires that arent stretched and you dont need to shave or cut anything. 20/25 is a whole different look and pics dont do it justice. Car looks wider and the stance is totally diff. from front and back. You do have to mess with your brackets a bit. Now, it has come to my attention that there is a chance running 275/30 with a 25 offset. If this works with my drop it will be the way to go in my opinion. Either way its a personal choice.
