Rear offset is a +45 ! Perfect offset for sedans.

These are the offsets I suggested to you for your sedan! If you went with my current +20/25 offsets you would be poking out way to much on the sedan.

You need +32/45 and will sit perfectly with 245/35/20 and 285/30/20.

Lmk if you have any other questions.

+45 in the rear. I got that offset from Diego and I think it's perfect. When I install the camber kits in a few weeks they will be sitting flush

LoL thank you, I was trying to find what you had told me, I couldn't remember if you just told me in person or we said something on here. (I didn't want to bother you with it again.)

I love your wheels, especially the CV3...but REALLY wish you made something similar to the MRR HR2 with a concave, wide 5 spoke - in both 19 and 20.

I can't run 20's in Los Angeles - the roads are too bad here. Example - on my 2008 G35S Sedan - I went thru 8 HR2 (staggered 19's) wheels in 3 years due to our roads. And in the end - MRR stopped making the correct offset - so i had to scavenge to get a replacement.

Here's a pic of that car. Any new wheel styles on the way?

I plan to go with 20/25 offsets with 235/255. I currently have KW v3 with camber kit and sway bars. Daily Driver.

I tend to drive aggressively (speeding +85mph and fast turning)on backroads when i do weekend trips. Roads arent bad in sc/ga just need to watch out for occasional potholes.

My question: With 20/25 offsets v 32/42 offsets am I sacrificing tha ability to drive 'tracklike/aggressive'?---or to generalize the question...with agressive offsets what will I need to be more cautious of or change in my driving?

--again this is for a daily driver.Thanks for any help guys.

I have the same offsets 20/25 with 235/265 slammed on Tanabe with no problems. I would say be careful taking turns Bc you're running stretch so there could be a chance of your lips touching the pavement. Otherwise you should be fine. You should try 235/275 I know few guys with the same offsets running those with no problems. Hope it helps

I drive my car pretty aggresive and with my current +20/25 and Falken 245/275s i wouldnt worry about pushing it to much. Now that i installled my Hotchkis sways bars i have been taking turns and curves at higher speeds and its becoming an extremely fun DD.

Don't ever worry about pushing Vossen Wheels to the limits.
