Vossen Wheel with + spacer
Bought some 15 mm spacers from Mike (passnu2) and decided to test fit the rear wheel and take some pics. I was getting the car ready for a local car show and wanted to line up the wheel with the fenders. Unfortunately show got cancelled
. I think it's dead on. Tell me what you think.
The last shot is of me pulling up my driveway so I could compress the rear spring and see if there was any rubbing, it barely rubbed on the tire

Looks good, I know first hand already. 
I know when they had used my car for the last shoot, we used 15mm for the front and back and offsets were perfect for me. Flush and a slight poke in the back. Of course I have my rears shaved and fronts rolled. 225/30 on 20x9 and 255/30 on 20x10.5 ftw... minor rubbing on hard dips.

wow you really pushing the envelop ron! though i would be very careful about the location where the bumper meets the fender. when you drive and hit dips, the whole suspension compresses more than what you see when you pull into your driveway. that can literally cut into the tires. happened to me before on my previous car

perfect! as rominl said be careful of that spot I actually clipped my tire once but luckily it didnt harm anything. You can shave that part down to prevent any damage.
Its a perfect offset with your stance. Wish Vossen would push the offset just a little bit more for us
They have some great looking rims but I just hate to use spacers on aftermarket rims.

Thx, Yes sir they are shaved, needs a little bit more.
I was curious about that from the pic you posted the match up was on point and wasn't sure if those concave came with a more aggressive offset or spacers were used. I'm running 245/35 F and 275/30 R and to be honest I think I can make it work in the rear with that tire size but the front is a different story. I would have to really stretch the tire. This weekend I'm taking it to a friend's shop to see if we can make it work. I can't wait to see more pics of your photo shoot
I appreciate the advice Henry and this was just a test fit to see what potential problems I might encounter, I was bored (lol). As you know I don't want to run stretched tires so if I can't make them work then it will just be for show's. Now if I go Air or Hydro.....then it's none issue
Actually 10mm is still too tucked, more like 12mm would be perfect especially with my tire size but no one (that i know of ) makes a bolt on spacer less than 15mm. I didn't want to deal with the hassle of replacing the studs with longer ones etc.....
Thanks, that's next.
Thanks.
Hey Mike......thanks for the spacers
Totally agree. If they would make that in a +30 or +32 it would be spot on without spacer. This is strictly for car shows.
