Newly installed rims w/ pics
I just got my Vossen's in the mail last week and I had them installed today. Overall I'm not that blown away just yet with the look of my car, but I have some NF's on the way that'll drop my car just enough to make it look nice I hope. Another thing I'm not too happy with is the tire/rim fitment. The place I bought these rims from told me that 275-30-20 (r) and 245-35-20 (f) would be the perfect fitment for my car. However, it almost looks like the tires could be wider up front and on the rear because there's a gap between where the tire ends and the rim begins. I'll post another pic later for better detail because it's dark out right now. Does anyone else have a different setup on their's? Possibly 285-30-20 or even 295-25-20 in the rear? Here's a before and after pic.

Those rears are 10.5 in wide?
That would be the reason. I have 275-30 on 10 in rear and I can see it's mildly stretched. These youngsters saying it's alright like this sort of thing. I don't. I think tires that don't fit right is not the best taste. I'm not knocking anyone just stating my opinion. To make it fit right you'll need 285-30 or 295-25 on that rear.
I don't believe you'll have any problems leaving it as is but I couldn't leave it. Everytime I saw it I'd hate it.

Actually the perfect tire spec is a 245/30-20 &285/25-20 this will keep the overall diameter the same as factory, and the front, and rear sidewalls are almost the same exact size as well. I understand that some like the additional sidewall but a 245/35 is an inch over spec and a 275/30 has a smaller sidewall than the 245/35 not ideal if your car is awd! Other than that the wheels look great can t wait to see it lowered!!

Thanks everyone. I do think I'll like it better once it's dropped. Plus, like everyone has already stated, I'll be able to go lower without any mods with this setup. It looks better than stock. I went out to my garage like 3 times last night just to stare and admire my car. Is there anything wrong with that? Can anyone relate to doing the same?

Those wheels are very nice. I thought about getting those and went with the MRR HR2.
The drop will do wonders for you. Right now, the oddest thing about it is the 4x4 look and the NF will be perfect. Congrats.
here is a pic of mine. (and there is nothing weird about going out to the garage to admire them).
