Ok so I am gonna run this:
CV3's
Front = 255/30/20 +32
Back = 305/25/20 +45
with the Swift-R sport springs (1.3" front and 1" back drop)

*edit reason: changed offset to +45

Vossen has something for everyone. First ask your self this, what kind of driving do you do and are you looking for practicality or just looks!
what does it mean to stretch tires? i would like something that looks good but will last long for the tires also. and something that doesn't rub. I'm a pretty aggressive driver, what do you think?

Stretched tires don't last as long. They look like this:

Mines lasted a long time. I used my CV1's close to two years n the tires still had 50% tire thread left, when I sold the wheels. So on that note, if you take Care your wheels n don't drive like a maniac stretched tires would last just as long as regular tires IMO

Zane go with this set up, I feel this is exactly what your looking for.

Vossens of your choice just choose the higher offsets not the 20/25

Next run 245/285 tires

Or

255/305s my personal fav

Concave totally looks better when the offsets are lower such as the +20 +25, it also makes the car look a lot wider. The 255 +32 and 305 +45 will obviously make the tires look wider but it does not look as concaved. If your going to go with a lip wheel get the +32 +45 255 305. If your going to go with a concave wheel I would get +20 +25 run 245/30 and 275/30 depending on your drop. You obviously will shave your bumper bracket which I didnt like the thought of at first but its no big deal......

You will not rub with the wide tires with the 32/45 offsets on CV2/3 the look is phenomenal . CV1 also offers the 32/42 which also looks great . I ran both and yes 20/25 looks more concave cause u can see the concave from the rear view more but you have to be willing to run stretched tires and shave your rear bracket which sounds worse then it is but its worth it! If this is your DD I will recommend the higher offsets and wide rubber over the stretch and poke. Just my .02 from experience
