Vossen +25 +30 with 255 285 tires possible?

G37s IP
I have tanabe rear and eibach front.

Wheels: Vossen 082 black machine washed with ss lip.

Fronts : 9x20 +25
Rears: 10.5x20 +30

Tires: Nitto Invo

Fronts: 255/35
Rears: 285/30

Planning on putting them on in the next couple of days. hopefully sunny weekend to post pictures.

Based on my measurements it is going to be really close.
is this possible or has anybody tried it.
I am keeping my suspension as is. (I know all about more - camper and all)

As it is I was wondering if anybody thinks there is not going to be enough room.

I cant wait to put them on.

I'd love to see how those are going to look. I'm thinking of doing something similar to what you're doing.

Everything fits flush, I love it. I was rubbing on the bumper bracket, well actually on the screw itself, so I had to make some modifications, it is all good now no rubbing. I will I will have pictures this weekend. I am going to post a teaser thread with some pics today.

I have a question about tire size.
Sha37, on the other thread, you said vossen 20's with 285 tires didnt fit your rear with your old eibach rear? what do you mean by that? isn't Tanabe lower than Eibach? so isn't it harder to fit 20's with 285 on Tanabe?
I am getting vossen 082s, eibach all around with offsets F25/R30 with 245/35/20, and 285/30/20.. what do you think? do i still need to shave off the bracket? and what do i tell my installer to do?

My wheels Specs and tire sizes are as you saw on my thread, the thing with rear tanabe is that when your car sits lower you end up with more negative camper, meaning your wheels gets pushed in more. so if you are dropped more you need a lower offset. Vossen offers two offsets for our cars either 30,39 or 25, 30 for front and rear. if you are going with 25 30 offsets, look at this website:
http://www.rimsntires.com/rt_specs.jsp
With Eibach I originally had 25mm spacers in the back, and it was pretty flush, with my new setup is like having 35mm spacers. so if you are having Eibach rear, I would go with either 285 tire but 39 offset, and you will not rub, just make sure you get 285/30, but if you are going with 30 offset for the rear I would not suggest anything wider than 275, really 265 is the way to go,

play around with that tire and offset calculator, if you have anymore questions let me know.

Its really all about the camper you end up getting, but with Eibach it can only go so far, I know you want it done this weekend, but in couple of weeks, I am actually going to put my eibachs rears back on, and checkout how it looks, cause I hate how tanabe handles, people on here say its the same, but tanabes handle worst than stock sport suspension.

Then I can tell you for sure if it will work.

I have more negative camper with tanabe than I did with Eibach, going up the driveway when my wheels go up the wheelwell I can only fit a credit card in there, so when I do the math with Eibach rears you are going to do more than rub, it would probably hit once your car is aligned right.
but if you have to order this weekend and Eibach rear is the only option, go with the 39 offset in the rear, but get the 25 for the front. then you can play around with spacers if it is not flush, but with Eibach 285 tire and 39 offset is going to look nice, later you can either get a wider tire or spacer (which I dont prefer personally).
