You got wide tires, a slight drop and sways. Expect a big improvemnet! Your car will hug the road more thats for sure.

Stock suspension.

Order some Eibachs or Swift springs and you are good.

Vossen, I'm almost about ready to make my wheel purchase, but am curious to your opinion and others on the finish of the Vossen wheel I'm considering...

I want the CV3's and do recall you having them at one point or maybe still currently...but what finish looks great on our cars? I'm leaning on Matte Graphite, but my buddy just put on the CV3 in matte black machined on his white BMW M5 and it looked sweet. However, based on some of the few pics I have seen with that finish on the G, I don't think I like it. Looks very odd on a BO coupe IMHO...but again, that's just in pics.

Basically, what CV3 finish do you and others on here think look the best on a black coupe? What about matte silver machined??? Can you gentlemen chime in??

Honestly i never liked the Matte Black CV3s on the G matte Graphite is the way to go with these wheels. Matte silver is ok but if you really wanna pull these off just right go Graphite, the finish is so damn nice especially when you see them rolling.

Tell them you want this.

CV3 20x9.0 and 20x10.5

Offsets at 32/45

Tires run 245/35/20 and 285/30/20

You can get the more aggressive offsets that are 20/25 but u will need 245/275 tires and the rears will poke out the fender a tad making it really flush but u will need a smaller tire like a 265/30/20 or 275/30/20 max on rears. Lower the offset the further the rim will start poking out. Play it safe and get wide meaty tires just go 32/45 w 245/285 tires. And depending how low you go you may need to trim rear bumper bracket to prevent rubbing with the lower offsets.

Vossen only offers two offsets:

32/45

Or

20/25

I have had both and love both just get what will be more practical for your everyday commute.

Ride comfort will not decrerase! May improve as you will be going with wider tires. Will look phoenominal at the same time

Any more questions please feel free to PM me or email me at Diego07z@yahoo.com.
