Post Offset and Spacer help

I just purchased a set of Vossen VVS-CV1's for my G-Vert with offsets of +38 in up front, and +42 in rear.

The 38 does not clear caliper as it should without a spacer. There seems to be an issue with the wheel and that offset and I got 1 of 5 sets ever made. Nightmare . I need a spacer of 7mm or greater up front, and would like to wheels to match asthetically in rear. I have a universal spacer up front and the car makes some weird *** noise from front wheels while driving and the vibration is killing me.

So before I destroy the car, I know I need hubcentric spacers what sizes do you guys recommend for that wheel to line up with the fenders? I don't mind the rear poking out a bit and would prefer that. The Specs of wheels are:

20" with a width of 9.5 F/10.5R Offset is: 38/42

Please help, thanks very much.

Sorry to hear that dude, I thought you were working with the company/ store to help you fix the problem and get the proper wheel to avoid using spacers. What happen to that? Dont destroy the car! ! !

Marcelo... You have no idea, went to shop they tried to put on a 5mm hubcentric spacer.. 5mm doesn't give enough clearance. I am ready to order spacers on my own and spend more f*in money to get this **** to work correctly.

I am gonna park car in driveway for rest of week and use public transportation if I have too. I have no choice right now.

Sorry to hear all the problems dude. I was interested in those wheels 2. I dont know too much, car parts etc its not my field. I called vossens, and they told me that the front comes in 20 and the rear comes in 42 for a normal tire size. They also told me there is 25 and 38, so I guess you can match whatever you want. The best advise I got was probably to put on 20 front and 42 back, and second option from research research was 20 front and 25 back. Its so confusing when you order the right wheel, but get a different wheel with a different offset. I think i'm just going to put in fujita short intake , and tanabe touring exhaust+eibach Not looking for tons of power, but some refined exhaust sound.....

Just run a 10mm spacer in the front and rear. That will put them out a bit but not so aggressive that you would have to run neg camber or anything.

Same here, my vossens are +38f and +39r I want to run a 10mm or 15mm up front. The rears are ok but I could run a 10mm. My tire sizes are 245/35 275/30 dunno if that helps..
