Vossen v1 or 83 on 305 rear tire

looking for advice on correct tire sizes and rim offsets for Vossen v1 or 83.

1. currently stock ride height, but would like to get rid of the higher fender gap in the front compared to the rear. want mild drop, considering eibach

2. do not want stretched tires or rubbing

3. would like 305 on the rear tires - maximum traction.

4. no

what would be the tire sizes(trying to keep close to stock diameter) and offsets to use for Vossen - to avoid fender rubbing, or caliper rubbing??

thank you

You'd want a 10.5" rims with offsets of ~+40 for the rear

I dont think you will be able to run 305s. Im running +42 offset with 285s in the rear and there's not much room left, but im dropped 1.5 inches.

Where do I see pics of your car?
Do you think if I went with a 40 offset I would be able to fit the 305s??

Where do I see pics of your car? showing the wheel to fender spacing

My drop would be mild, drop would be something similar to ebiach, even if I go with coil overs. Would 305 fit then?

I still think you'd have trouble even with a mild drop. Maybe try going with 295?

That is f'in perfect, exactly the look I am lookin for -
I don't like the stretched tires - yours look like the tires fit the rims
I don't like rims that stick out to far from the car - yours look like it is just flush enough.

Perfect compromise between performance and aesthetics.

Are you using camber arms? is so what kind?
