They should've asked you about what wheel offset you wanted or also they should've suggest an offset for your right fitment.do you recall them asking anything about offsets?

i told them the make and model that it was a g37s vert. i dont want to use a spacer, i would like the correct offset in the first place. now i gotta wait another 10 days to get the fronts if they decide to exchange them if they even have them. vossen told me they were sold out and wont have them for another month and a half.

I ordered mine with the +32 offset. Shop I ordered from asked me all the pertinent questions (make, model, trim, sport brakes, etc...) and said that's what they recommended and that they/Vossen guarantee fitment.

Good luck, man.

i have not even driven on them and if i do use a spacer and drive on them they would probably not take them back. im glad i put them on myself cuz it could have been worse if i got a tire shop to mount them and if they would have not noticed it could have been really bad like the other person who had fitment issues where it scratches his calipers. i love my car and want this thing done right with the correct wheels, especially if they have the right offset for the car.
no spacers.

Ya if I were you I'd go 20/25 too. I don't really like the look of the cv1s with fat tires.
