Guys, you gotta remember this isn't Vossen's car. They don't own this IS.... at least I don't think so (correct me of I'm wrong). This is probably some guys car that bought these wheels... Vossen can only work with what they got. If the guy only has Eibach springs, then thats all they can work with...

I'm sure if it was their car, they would of put more aggressive offsets, stretched n' dumped that ish...

..... vossen has access to a hand full of aggressive IS' in miami. all they have to do is make one phone call and bam!

They like to keep things uniform however. Which is why they shot a normal one, to cater to all crowds.

Not everyone is persuaded by a slammed car with aggressive offsets!

Jav the 19's look nice! This will open up a whole new world of cars and crazy fitments you already shake your head when I do stupid fitments with the 20's wait till you let me fit some 19's on!

Good points, since some prefer a high performance effect, not just a car that looks good parked. Nice setup.

what height gives you a high performance effect???
maybe I should adjust my height to that

btw, I wonder if the owner of that car is planning to put some bodykit on..
I think VERTEX would look great

For high performance street use, yes adequate suspension travel is advisable, so less time is spent swerving around bumps, angling into driveways/speedbumps/tracks, damaging front lip kits, etc. Car should obviously be lower than stock. And rubbing tires on fenders, stretched skinny tires on wide rims does nothing for performance, it's mainly for looking good in parking lots.
