Default Vossen CV7 lowered on Tanabe NF210 - Need Offset advice!

I just got a new 2014 GS 350 F Sport (handing off my 3GS to my wife) and I am hoping you guys can help me figure out what offsets would be best for me. I am going to order the Vossen CV7 but I see people running quite a bit of different offsets on the front and I am hoping you could tell me which option will best prevent any rubbing.

I am going to put Tanabe NF210 springs on to lower. I am going with a staggered setup.

F: 20 x 9 - - I see people running both +32 and +38. Which do you recommend?

B: 20 x 10.5. Looks most everybody is running +45. so I guess there are no issues with the 10.5 wide and +45 offset?

I would appreciate any help with the offset decision. Want a fairly aggressive look, but do not want to do any fender rolling or shaving and don't want to deal with rubbing issues.

One other question, do you guys think 245/35/20 on the front and 275/30/20 on the back tires will work with these wheels?

Here is the setup I recommend as I have done this is plenty of the GS models and also is a recommendation from Vossen themselves for the ideal setup.


Front: 20x9 + 32

rear: 20x10.5 + 45

Front: 245/35/20
Rear: 275/30/20 ( adjustment direct from my guys at Vossen)

This will be a perfect setup with the drop on the springs with no rubbing at all.

Let me know if I can be any help.

is it possible to run Vossen 20x10.5 front and rears? would love to do that to still achieve the concave look up front as well.can someone help me figure out the proper offsets and tire size for the fronts(20x10.5).
hoping i can make this different and aggressive look a reality. thank you

10.5 in the front , No way, with 10.5 and 285 and the drop some guys are rubbing I think, 275 is the best for the rear with a drop and if some one sits in the bk, no rub for sure, thats just my opinion.

I'm going 20x9 in the front with 245/35 tires.

Still trying to decide between 275/30 and 285/30 in the back.

275 in the rear and you'll be just fine.

Does the 275 looks stretched on the 10.5? I think I will probably go with the 275 to be safe but not a huge fan of the stretched look.

what do you guys mean by stretched?

Wow, that helps a lot because my GS is white and I ordered the the exact same wheels from Vossen. So no rubbing issues at all with that setup?

Do you have any additional pics farther back so I can get a better idea of how the drop looks?
