Default Vossen 4gs help please

Ok,

So I am going to pull the trigger on some CV3's I have read all through the 3gs vossen thread, and noticed guys were running different setups. I just have some questions for people with 4gs and Vossens.

Is there more room in fenders in 4gs than 3gs?

I want to run 20x9 245-35-20, and 20x10.5 285-30-20 Will this rub stock, and will it rub once I t t throw a drop on it (with the first set of springs that come out, like the tanabes)?

What is the difference for the front in +32 or +38 offset?

I think Vossen recomends 285-25-20 for the rear but I dont want tires that small, can anyone help clear all this up for me?

Thanks in advance

I think you will be OK. Honestly springs doesn't lower your car that much.

This makes it interesting, but this guy says at stock height he does not rub.
