Does anyone know the weight of the CV3s on 20s? Given that they're cast I guess they're not light, but I'm curious.
They will rub because the +45 with a 285 is an aggressive set up for the rear. And someone weighed them a while back with tires and they were barely heavier than stock. The difference was minimal.

They have a bunch of different offsets. They go all the way down to +15. I have +32 in the front which still isn't flush like the rear. But they recommend +38 because they dont want people having issues and complaining..

I'm not sure what people are complaining about if it is a better fit with no problems...they said they did some test which I wonder what actually failed on those test they ran with those offset. I am getting the wheels swap but will have to pay for shipping them back and shipping for the new set. Will talk to Vossen about this cause I don't want to wait longer to put these wheels on.

I'm not sure exactly the reason they have. I think they just reccomend the +38 for a mild set up. They will sell you any offset you want though.

^ yep yep.. when i ordered mind they keep on assisting that i should get and +38 because that's what vossen recommended, but i know what i wanted and i wanted the +32.. i would even go lower if they had it. + 22 thru +25 would be perfect.

but will they fit is the question. I might actually keep the set if its going to be 2x on the shipping and if I have to wait a bit longer to get my wheels cuz they might not ship it directly to me.

If you have +38 you can easily run a 5mm spacer. Its not really a big enough difference to switch wheels over.

I doubt the 25 is going to fit without having to run some stretch and camber.
