Default 10.5" CV1 fronts on the #TeamVossen LS600hL

So, I decided to see what 10.5" wheels would look like on the front and rear of my LS600hL. I think they look great...when the car is dropped on Level 6 on my Data Controller that is. I am also left with a very narrow gap on the inner control arm that is only as thick as a credit card that I tested with....bottom line, I take advantage of my air suspension controller to ride at various levels on road trips or other extended driving for comfort..to achieve the look to pull this off requires a constant drop to create excessive camber for the wheel/tire to tuck...so I will not pursue this 10.5" all around setup...as much as i really want to. But, I am leaving spacers up front for my 9" wheels, pics of that will be in my 600hL build thread

This front setup features:
-22×10.5" Vossen CV1 wheel with 38 offset
-15mm Akata 60.1mm hubcentric bolt on spacer
-effective new offset is appx 23mm

LOL..pics are up now. I think a 20mm spacer instead of 15mm would provide the necessary inner clearance to be sure, but that would require a pretty serious drop to eliminate the poke it has without the drop.

Thanks for sharing. Since I need 2 new fronts I might pickup some 10.5's. when they are back in stock. I need to ask Mike what are the available offsets are. So with the 15mm spacer it was barely clearing the arms? A drop that tucks a little tire would be perfect with that.

Adam..avail offsets in 5x20 vossen 22s are 20 and 38 iirc. I wanted to have all four with 38s because I wanted to be able to rotate tires front to back and vise versa.

I think the 20mm offset spacer may be better for this. But, you would have to run an aggressive drop to tuck that in the Fender. When I put it at stock height, it really stuck out far. If you remember when I had the 265s up front, I had the same amount of clearance and it would rub on that control arm on a few occasions.

I really wish I could do this setup comfortably...meaning driving without being dumped all the time..after level 4 or 5 on the controller. .the car rides considerably different and not for the better, particularly on 22s

Thanks Diego! Sorry, I don't have any more pics..I'm back to my 22x9/22x10.5 config now. I wanted to see how these would look, but I would need to buy two more x10.5s lol. Plenty more staggered pics in my build thread in my sig block below.
