looking to buy vossen CV3's staggered setup for summer wheels. right now I would like 20". I'm lowered at the stock height for Megan EZ coils.

does this setup require any fender modifications whatsoever? I do not want to make any modifications. would I be better off going 19"?

Thank you

I was offered these wheels
Avant Garde in dolphin grey

18x8.5 5x114.3 +35
or

19x8.5



I have AWD so im getting same size all around


I wanna make sure I get good meaty tires so I dont blow them out here on the horrible roads in NY but i also want to make sure I dont have any rubbing when i turn or go over bumps.

I am on stock suspension.

I need all season tires

what size would you recommend, im not looking for low profile but more comfortable ride.

also was thinking to get the 19's in same dimension so you can recommend something that pertains to that as well

ok so we arent running into rubbing issues, thinkin about running a 18x8 +42 225/40 and the rear in a 18x9.5 +20 255/35. Will this work?
That is keeping the rotation really really close for the AWD. If anyone has any other tire sizes to possibly go with im open to listen. We are trying to figure it out so we can order rims and tires in the next month or so.

the rear are perfect! with a little stretch, might rub near your rear fender tabs,
the front you gonna need run 215 tires, probably gonna need to relocate your fender tabs too

front would need shave / slight pull + relocated bumper tab + stretch tires..

rear would need all of the above + camber arms

Wow that's way to much for me. What do you think about these which are not that aggressive.

19x8.5 +20
19x9.5 +25
Can i use 225/35/18 & 265 30 19?

Hey guys I'm new to this. So sorry if I get anything done wrong. With that being said I'm planning on buying a set of rims with tires and had a couple question. First what size tires should I buy and what modification would I need to clear rubbing. Thanks
Front: 19x9.5 +12
Rear: 19x10.5 +12
Btw it would go on a 06 is250 rwd and plan on dropping it on megan ez coils

225/35-19 + 245/35-19

rolled + naturally pulled fenders, modified fender tabs, deleted fender tab bolt

go with higher spring rates if you haven't already ordered your coilovers. megan EZ's standard spring rates are not condusive to lowered ride heights + wide/low offset wheels.

2008 IS350

I just bought 225/40R18 tires for the front and 255/40R18 for the rear. I'm doing it kind of backwards, but after I bought the tires, I decided I want new rims.

I really want the 18" TSW Nurburgring Gunmetal w/ Mirrorcut Face

What size do I need for the front and rear tires? Also how much should I worry about the offset?

Thanks in advance

Hey people!

Thinking of buying Varrstoens 19" 9.5 +22 front and 11 +25 rear.

what tires should I get and what mods apart from fender rolling will I have to do?

Currently on H&R springs, but also planning to get K-sport Deluxe air kit))

Thanks a lot!
