Nice wheels. Did you lower it already or is it at stock height? Can we see a pic at stock height with the 20s if its not lowered?

Here are some night shots i just did, sorry for the low lighting. I'm still working out the kinks of my DSLR. And for those that are interested on how 20" Vossen CV7's look on STOCK suspension here you go, your welcome. Needs a drop though, hopeful the RSR coil over come out soon! Hope this helps! Loving my wheels, big shout out to the guys at Vossen! Keep doing what you guys do best! I wished my wheels came with some Vossen Decals though!! cough cough!

Driven Daily



It's hard to tell but my rear tires are super wide! Semi-protrudes the fenders, its really aggressive.

Hope you guys enjoyed my photos, more to come soon!
