I would have your mechanic lower the rear first, since its pretty easy and snap some pic. I think they'll clear with a little camber. This sedan in the link is running a 275, with simlar specs and looks like it clears fine.

that sedan is running a 255 tire stretched with severe negative camber, also he has a 45+ offset and the concave isnt nearly as much as the cv1. i called vossen and asked them why they have a sedan photo shoot with the nex cv2's and never one pic of the cv1's on the same car? they didnt answer me on that. like i said im just waiting for the suspension to get done today and well see how it all comes out

You worry too much. Everything is going to turn out fine. If not just sell the wheels I'm sure someone will buy them from you. After you drop your car the rims will tuck in.

That sedan is running 275's in the rear which is 10mm narrower(5mm on the outside) plus its front tire size is not right. It is about 3% different diameter from stock and rear tire which is too much. Jarena's sizes are what they should be to maintain the tire diameter. I think we should definitely wait to see what it looks like after dropped and settled.

jarena2104, Thanks for the awesome updates.

Do you think the rear wheels/tires will rub if you put two adults in the rear seat and some weight in the trunk? What did you do about the rear lug nuts?

I look forward to more pics once your mechanic is finished.
