Definitely a very informative thread. We all enjoy different kind of tire setups so there will never be that "perfect" one, but regardless, thread delivers!

I'm just saying you can do the 20/42 and add rear spacer ! But if you don't want spacers just do 20/25 w 245/275 Or 32/42 245/285 ! I really like the 20/25 w 235/265 i really think u should do that but w 245/275 and call It a day! Lol all great duable options! I like how flush the 20/25 looks am honestly from those pics that doesn't look bad that's y I'm saying run 245/275 so it won't look so stretched and will fill it I'n a bit on rears. If anything rubs or mod I's
Needed wich o don't believe will be a big issue i say just do it to get that look it's flawless and although the 32/42 I's comfty and whatever lol it looks weak! The CV1 deserves so flushness lol 20/25 245/275 I's my vote .

In terms of spacer maintenance and hassle, once you install the right ones hubcentric do you need to retorque and check them every few months? And also will hubcetric spaces guarantee no vibration issues?

You will need to install new studs w the 10mm spacer ! Last i checked the extended studs I'n 10mm won't work only 15mm and 5mm . Only 10 requires new studs!

You basically would need to install the new studs and install the spacer by sliding on new studs here I's a result picture of 32/42 w 10mm spacers installed F+R this car I's on coils w 245/30 275/30 SPC F+R camber and CV1s sittin at 22/32 and no vibration at all! This guy loves the ride and tells ne how smooth this setup I's. Coming from a Service director at Porsche i believe he knows what he I's talking about so i believe him ! This set up I's $$$$







This car sittin at 26.0 on rear for his ride height! He I's running hankooks and keep I'n mind he did rub so even at 32 offset trimming liner and/or bracket I's required !

Pay to Play! If you want your car to look like that then you gotta do what is necessary to make it happen!

are there any DIYs for bracket modification, i'm curious to see whats involved and if my mechanic here can easily do it, if i go with 20/25 and 275 rears.

Do you think with falkens 275 i could possible go by without any modification at all? And if it's needed are we talking shaving the bracket with a file slightly which would be 1 hour work or is it some complex procedure that involves trial error, unmounting, testing etc...

Sorry for the noob question

It's really simple ! I paid a shop 120 to fix my rubbing issue! when i saw what they did i was pissed cause i could have done myself! U will know what to do once u mount and if u rub! I know doug said he didn't rub w 235/265 so go for it ! If u rub u know what to do it's simple! We will walk u through it just don't be scared lots of us w the sick stances and awesome offsets u love did it. So do it
