No its a coupe with no rubbing. I thought i saw on the forum someone had 295/30/20 in the rear dropped with swift springs with no rubbing on a 10.5 wheel but not sure on the offset....

As long as you have about 7mm before hitting the inside of the fender wall the 295s will fit, you want a couple mm of "wiggle room". Should be pretty easy to tell w/ a ruler since you've already got a 285 on the wheel.

Ok guys, I'm ready to buy but I really need your help.

I have a 2013 G37 Sport sedan, and I want to get the Vossen CV7s. This is a daily driver with kids in the back daily.

It was originally suggested to me 20x10.5 +45 rear 275/30/20 and 20x10.5 +45 front and add a 12MM Akata Spacer and sit at a +33 up front with a 255/35/20 tire. They also said this would be ok on Swifts, if I decided later to go coils. Do you think this is ok for a daily driver on a Sport sedan?


I have other community members suggesting 20x9 +32 255/35/20 / 20x10.5 +45 285/30/20 on Swifts.

Thoughts?

Square setups look nice but are a bit trickier to pull off w/ 10.5s all around. Since you seem to be stressing that it's a daily driver I think a more conservative approach would be best, I vote for the 20x9, 20x10.5 stagger in your situation, and those tire sizes are OK although continuing on the more conservative angle I'd go 245/35/20 on the front, especially since you mentioned you may be going lower in the future, the front fender isn't rolled like the rear and if you drop it further you may get some inner fenderwall interference under heavy compression w/ the wider 255s

Thanks, I was only stressing because the concern of having a stretched tire for a daily driver.


I really doubt I'll go lower than the springs, since I'm not a slammed kinda guy. So what are your thoughts now?

I'd still go w/ the staggered set but the 255 in front will be OK.

You could pull off the 20x10.5 all the way around, but the tires are going to be more stretched than if you did a staggered set-up. My suggestion would be a 20x10.5 +25 front and 20x10.5 +45 rear with 12mm spacer and a 255/30/20 all the way around.

Thanks.

Keep in mind this is a daily driver Sport sedan with Swifts.

Why would I stretch a 255/30 over a 255/35? What about a 275/30 on the back?

Excuse me if this sounds silly, but why run a +25 in the front and not a +45?

Yea, thats why I was saying that with the square set-up you would be running a pretty stretched tire for a DD...

I would recommend the staggered set-up myself, but Im saying if you had your heart set on the square set-up with the x10.5 then it CAN be done.

The information I provided was directly from Vossen on fitment. That exact fitment has been done and they know it works.

Hope this helps!

I would imagine the +25 in the front instead of the +45 would be because otherwise with that wide of a wheel you would have issues with the inside hitting the shock.

OK so I looked...mya have missed it, I just had teeth pulled so a little loopy! LoL

I am looking to get a set of wheels for the coupe that will sit flush WITHOUT spacers! I am thinking 19x9.5 or 10 in the front and 19x10 or 10.5 in the rear. Of course the tire will also play a part in this so maybe 255 fronts and 285 rears. Looking for a concave type wheel with a little lip. I know this vague but right now, cuz of the drugs this all I can manage to write

Have you seen this set-up? G37 Coupe on CVTs. Are you looking for something more flush than this??

Yeah something like that...maybe a little more flush. But that look would make me happy if that was the best I could get without spacers. I am thinking about a square setup with 19x10.5 all the way around on...285's maybe. I am not sure about the tires yet but I dont want to throw off the speedo that much or at all if I can help it

Might send a PM to this guy, he's running a real aggressive 10.5" square on an X (I think he's done some fender work though). Stock height will make it easier to pull off but your tires will poke out more.
