So here are the specs... Vossen CV1 20x9 32 fronts... 20x10.5 43 rear... tire sizes are 245/35/20 fronts... 285/30/20 rears... The rears clear pretty good. it does not rub too bad. They rub less than when i had my 19" Varrstoen. but the fronts are rubbing really bad. not on the fender, but on the fender liner and the little ear that sticks out where the bumper is bolted on the fender.... what should i do??











I do LOVE how everything looks. Ride height, tire thickness and everything...

She looks good bro. Love the color combo. If you go with a 245/30/20 on the front you should be ok. I take it you are rubbing on turns.

Thanks!!!! If i go 245/30 in the front that means i would have to go with 25/25 for the rears. wouldnt the sidewalls be a little too skinny? roads here in chicago are not smooth..

yeah. im good friends with Gerald. he went with me to pick up the wheels. then we came back to his store, took one wheel in the store to take pics. (it was dark outside) people on FB actually think they're his wheels and that he's putting them on his Fit.. lol.

I agree, and yes I've driven on your freeways. Horrible! But Im thinking you can leave the back the same and and run a 245/30 up front. That may fix your issues. I think you can run this tires set up on a staggered set of wheels. But Vossen does recommend 245/30 and 285/25 for tires. Looks good though. What are you lowered on?
