Default Vossen CV1

Hey there, Quick question that has been bothering me. This summer I am looking to buy some 20" vossen CV1's off a friend of mine that currently has them on his G37. Front tires are 245/35/20 and rears are 275/30/20. Not sure of offsets, might be +38 front and +42 rear,but I was curious if I would be able to put these on my 06 sc430 at stock height without having to do any fender/wheel well mods?

It all depends on the offsets. The ones you listed are very conservative and would easily fit without fender mods.

Those are Vossen VVS 08 20" staggered so you can decide how 20s look. Hope this helps.
Please forgive my ignorance. I just got an 03 lexus es300 and am looking at putting some new wheels on it. What do you mean by staggering? and what do people mean when they say that a rim has a lip?

Thank you.

...the term staggering means that the wheels are a different width.The front wheels are narrower than the rear wheels. Using the pic of the red sc posted, that car probably has 20x8.5 wheels on front & 20x10 wheels on the rear. Also the lip is the metal surface that you see on the wheel, that runs from the face of the wheel, to the edge of the tire. Using the red sc pic again, it's the chrome part of the wheel that you can see...hope this helps
