Vossen CV1's on G37x ??? Help!

Love the Vossen CV1's - want to put them on my G37x. Has anyone done this yet? Will be getting the Eibach PK for the X put on in 2 weeks..

Do you get to select the offset you want or is there a standard for all CV1's? What offset will work best with the eibach g37x springs? Can I add spacers?

The shop I got the quote at suggested 245/35/20 and 275/30/20 Toyo Proxes T1-S tires.. Will this work? My understanding is that with the awd, rotating diameter has to be within 3% or so... So do I need to go 30/30 or can I go 35/30?


Would appreciate any help/insight!!

There are no 30/30 nor 35/30 offsets on CV1. Vossen only offers 32/45 (I believe) and 20/25. I think you will have to go with 32/45 your tires can be 245 front 285 rear. Hope it helps

Thanks

If it's tire, you can either do 30/30 (I'm running that with my cv1) or 30/35

i think as long as the overall rolling diameter is within 5% your ok

i just did a quick calculation and i think a 30/35 setup on a 20 wheel is +- 1.7% ish

3% is the rule. check any tire websit as well as ask most tire stores. However 5% is ok I run 5% off on my FX.

what do the offsets 32/45 & 20/25 actually mean? is it how flush they are or something else? def a newb when it comes to wheels. also what is the tpms or is it tmps? im loiking to buy cv1 for my xs sedan.
