David those concave mesh wheels look amazing. I just saw another member with a Lexani mesh concave design and it looks amazing. Are these DPE wheels?

The last DPE concaves don't look to bad but those five stars arent close to looking as good as what you got on it. Im not really feeling any of the new vossen stuff or concave looks as much. The new wheels look boring and lack something in my opinion. They kind of make the car look more on the stock side to me. I think the wheels you have on it now look awesome but change is always good. Those last DPE wheels should look sick!

Now that I had to go from a 265/30 tire to a 245/30, I started to notice that visual effect also. Next tire may be a 255/30 and that will help since that is the best plus size setup for the 460. A 32mm offset would of been perfect I think. I have been looking at 2 and 3mm spacers online but that could be more trouble than its worth. Plus you need longer studs and it puts extra stress on bearings and hubs. I think the newer Vossens coming out have slightly lower offset option, but not sure 100%

I ended up going to a 255/30/22 in front and it looks much better than the 245 but not as fat as the 265. The 265 is much bigger than the 295/25 in the rear. Looks odd when the front tire has a larger diameter than the rear. 245/30 and 295/25 are the closest match in diameters but on a 9" wheel the 245 looks slightly stretched and when you ride along side the car I think it looks weird when the front tire is so much narrower than the rear. The only bad thing about the 255 size in front is that you cant get the continentals. I have Pirellis and Im happy with them so far
I think with your car slammed like that you may need to stick with the 245 for clearance. 255 will only complicate things, unless you shave and roll the fenders
