Hey guys, thanks for the info. I msged Chris from Vossen and he said
recommended tire sizes are:
245/30 20"
285/25 20"

The 285/25 just seems like it wouldnt be a good ride, what do yall think? Anyone with 20" vossens can chime in I would really appreciate it. I'm not sure what kind of car these wheels were on before hand.

If u have to roll, cut, touch your fender, liner

If you have to run stretched tires

If you have to add extra camber
If you have to raise the car or keep it at stock heigh


To avoid rubbing

YOUR WHEELS DON'T FIT U R DOING IT WRONG

I had 245/30 & 275/30 setup on my old set of CV3s and I felt the difference between stock even with the narrower sizes. I feel even with the +45 rears, it is still an aggressive setup for the F.

Almost everyone that commented on how good they looked also asked why the tires were so thin and why am I riding on rubber bands lol. They still rubbed on stock suspension with the 275s which were too stretched for my taste with this car.

I still love the wheels and they give an awesome stance for the F, just know what your getting yourself into to see of its worth it to you.

The 19's version probably doesn't rub, you might want to look into those instead.

Problem with wanting concave wheels on the F is the conservative fitment it can accept without the need of rolling/trimming fenders in the rear so it doesn't rub.
