Question: How are the springs on stock wheels? Want to get some springs when I get my vossens but want to know how well they do when my stock wheels are on for the winter.

And yeah, 20mm spacers with the 18" OEM Sport rims after the drop. Pretty cool hardware.

I ran spacers on the sport sedan rims after I had the BBK installed which also flushed them but now running the Rays I don't need the spacers at all.

That's just my opinion based on recent experience, but I suspect blnewt and others would agree. In other words, Vossen is one of those niche wheel manufacturers that expect you to drop the car. Want proof? Go look at every single car in their extensive photo gallery. And it's a seriously extensive gallery.

Guess who learned this the hard way and feels kind of silly now?

It's a pretty good sized purchase so IMO it's best to know what look you'll be getting prior to plunking down the coin. For a square sedan AWD setup I'd shoot for 8.5 +35s running 245/35s on 20s or 245/40 if running 19s or 9" +40 running same size tires. If you go 9.5" I'd go +45 offset running the same tires, but they'll be a little stretched on the mount.

Newt is our sedan forum's resident expert on wheel and tire specs. And even he's still figuring new things out.
Compiled the info and wisdom from another thread that will help me make the best decision on what's best for my G37xS Sedan. Hope this will help others as well.

That's true. However, they have excellent customer service, an amazing collection of media to stare and compare, and some truly beautiful designs.

But hey, if ROFL is what it takes to make you feel superior to the larger forum community... go for it. Just be reminded that karma goes both ways.
