Thanks for the info I've been trying to find this gille in the states but can't .

The non staggered looks good!! I'm going to keep my 600 staggered for the time being but its nice to know I can go non staggered if I have to..offsets for the 9" all around have to be 30mm or less to look good though.. yours sit really nice on the 265/30 tires and 30mm offset..I really wish I could of seen the car in person this week while I was in Deutchland

LOL..the thought did cross..I tried to mount one of my 10.5s up front and the car was like GTFOHWTBS!! No wayyyy it would fit..I'd have to do 15-25mm spacer i bet plus hella fender work..but it would look dope!!

So there was still room?? I support it!! Is not that hard to roll a few fenders teehee

You can also buy my good front wheel as a spare since the 35 et is a rare breed now

Edit: never mind, you meant by it hitting the control arm. When a camber solution comes out, hopefully soon, some spacing and slight fender work wiould do the trick.

CJITTY

Yeah man..the control arm prevented me from even getting the 10.5 on the hub...major surgery
would be required to pull that off

Whitetooth, what level do you drive the car on the controller? I daily drive my 600 at Level 3 front, 2 rear and the ride is still incredibly smooth. I can't imagine rolling on 265/30s all around because it would be even smoother. If I ever have to go with the 22x9 all around to keep the AWD system happy, I would probably get the CV1s again with the 30 offset and maybe even do the 3 or 5mm spacer to really put the wheels close to the fender...do you have any more pics you can share? Wondering how it looks around stock level (i assume the earlier pics were "height high") and around level 3/4 just to see. Hope all is well in Deutchland!

My daily drive is 2 front and rear. Parking in L and city cruising in 6, just for fun. I enjoy that the suspension compressor is working even while the combustion engine is off. 265/30/22 all around was a good decision



Just bought winter tires. Unfortunately they are not 22's.
245/45/19 Dunlop 3D are not so noisy hopefully. Spec says 68 dB. Within Europe, every manufacturer has to publish the noise in a table as of next month. Finaly a law!

Oh, yes, Germany is well, money seems to be magnetic. Investors feed the general gouvernment ex interest. I feed them, too, but not by choice. Kanzlerin is growing observably.

As requested by OP at https://www.clublexus.com/forums/7572390-post150.html I answer the questions in this thread:

There is no option!

I'm in love with her:



I have VOSSEN this year and ALTSTADT F100 possibly in 2013. By the way, ALTSTADT is German and means historic center of a city. No good decision 22's plus ALTSTADT plus cobbled street. However, a freeze image is noiseless LOL

I love this pic!! If you plan on keeping the Vossens, I would get the 5x120 3mm or 5mm Akata Hub Centric Spacers to get the wheels a little closer to fender and it would look even better

The 3mm spacer would put you at et27 offset or the 5mm spacer would put you at et25mm..assuming you have the et30 CV1s which I believe you do

Love your 600 man!!

whitetooth

Thanks for your comment. Unfortunately I need an approval for spacers as well. You know, German TUEV! But you are right, 3mm is precisely the difference therefore the ALTSTADT F100 offset is 27 and not 30. With a little bit of fender work 25mm is matching, too.



I love your silver VOSSEN and I'm not sure whether to continue with black or not.

CJITTY

Thanks, I think the black color makes the wheels look smaller. Silver and machined finished wheels (to me) seem to make the wheels look bigger than chrome or darker colors. I think you could easily get away with a 3mm spacer in rear and the 5mm spacer in front. Why can't you order them and just put them on yourself? you could paint them black using a high temp rust proof paint and they would blend in to the hub and won't even be noticed..but then again, not sure how the inspection process works in Germany...just a thought. The 5mm and 3mm do not require new lugnuts by the way. I have the 3mm and I still have plenty of hub lip left for the wheel to sit on and at least 6 or 7 lug turns...if I keep my staggered setup, I may even get the 15mm in front and 3mm rear to help with that sucked in look..the newer Vossens are 30mm, mine are 35mm..big difference

whitetooth

Inspection works sometimes this way: Every two years an inspection is required. Owners make sure it is in the winter time and with winter tires and without spacers

Great idea! Paint it black: I see a red caliper and won't it painted black
