Will the 20x10.5 for the rear stick out or poke outside of the wheel well? and also is the G35 on the vossen website have the 083 with the machined black finish?

Thanks for the help everyone, I just ordered my Vossen 083s and waiting for them to be delivered (about 2 weeks). Now I have to figure out what tires to put on these rims. I will go with Front 245/35 and Rear 275/30. I have read different threads about tires and I know its one personal perference but I just wanted some opinions. Ive heard good things about the Hankooks Ventus V12s and maybe leaning towards these tires. Any concerns about them that I should know of? Also Ive heard the Yokohama S Drives and Potenzas in the discussion with possible new tires for these rims. Im not an expert on tires and I personally feel that the stock Potenzas I have on my G37S 18s feel good but when I do step on it the back tends to fishtail alittle. I want a tire with good grip and a smooth ride. Any other suggestions anyone?? Thanks in advance

Chivas, you can go with either Yokohama or Hankooks both are good tires IMO I'm running Hankooks ventus v12 on my CV1's I have zero complains.

I had a question about the tire sensors if anyone can help me. I just bought the VVS 083s but completely forgot to ask about tire sensors. Can I just take off my tire sensors off my stock wheels and put them on the Vossens? or do i need to buy a completely new set or is there some bracket or extension that I need for the Vossens? I know that the wheels are compatible but do I just remove and install the sensors with nothing else? Thanks

Your OEM sensors are good. Just have them put on the new wheels.

No need to buy an extra set. Direct fit.

For Lug nuts look into kicks they have many styles to pick from.

What's up guys! I've been lurking around this forum for a few months now, but haven't made many posts. I currently have an order in for a 2012 G37S 6mt OB w/ rear spoiler, midnight black grille, and illuminated kick plates (for an awesome price of $41,703!!) straight from the factory to my door step. AS SOON as I get the G, I'm going to put the following mods on. Let me know if my specs I'm planning will look good/run into any problems:

Vossen CV1s MB
20x9 245/35/20 +20et
20x10.5 275/30/20 +25et
(not sure what tires yet. thinking hankook.. advice?)
dropped on KWv3 (SPC F+R necessary?)

ARK GRiP exhaust - burnt tips
Takeda CAI (or STILLEN if I'm willing to drill holes)

and purple neon underglow (ha! just kidding...gross)

Thanks for any help.

(and yes, I've done a lot of searching, That's how I came up with these items and numbers.)
