Vossen Experts/Addict Question! wheel offset/tire choice

Hi,

For the Coupe, how would the following offset/tire choice look with an eibach drop?

CV1
20
Fronts 20x9 235/30/20
25
Rears 20x10.5 265

I believe the ideal tire size is 245/275 for an eibach drop with 20/25 offsets. But what would a 235/265 look like ?

You're talking about a 1cm difference in tire width, shouldnt be so worrying

buy offset 20+ for the front with 255

the rear with offset 45+ and wrap it with 305 and buy 5MM spacer for flush look..

it'll also vary from one tire company to the next. 265 from Kumho will look different than 265 from Nitto, etc.

btw, great choice in wheels!

you should get 235 35 not 235 30. with 265 30 at the rear. Your front will seat too low with 235 30. Or at least Front will sit much lower than rear, wouldn't match

Wheels: CV1
F: 20x9 +20 R: 20x10.5 +25
Eibach Springs: F: 1.2in R: 0.8in
S-Tech Springs: F: 2.1in R: 1.9in

Hm... Diego recommended the following for eibach drop. on 20/25
245/35/20
275,30,20

What do you think? It looks like eibach the front will be lower compared to stech (lower in terms of difference between front n rear)

With such a non-aggressive drop would 082s look better than CV1 on OB g coupe?

I mean. aggressive drop would look better on the car than non-aggressive either way, both 082 or CV1 or any wheels

With Eibach Drop. I would shave my bracket, with 20 25 offsets 245/35/20 275/30/20 would be perfect. And It won't rub,

Im with S-tech, my next set up going to be 20 25, 245/35/20. 275/30/20. and I will be fine
For wheels finishes, it's your choice.

you don't need to stretch 255 on the rear with eibach anyways.
Don't stretch if you dont have to.

Yea due to the roads I'm forced to do eibach drop so I'm looking for the best looking wheel and tire ofset to match the non aggressive drop.
