Do you mind telling the offsets of your wheels, tire sizes? Any rubbing issues? Alignment spec?
Thank you, Sir.

Sure, no problem

Odd....can't believe I couldn't fid it in this thread, seems its in the thread in car chat

Vossen CV3
20x9 front +38
20x10.5 rear +45
Yokohoma S.Drives
245/35/20 front (go with 245/30/20)
275/30/20 rear( we recommend 285/25/20)

Alignment was done by Hennessy Lexus of Gwinnett. I would have to look at the sheet to review specs. I am pretty OEM, no stanced out guy here.

Hey, I am mike@vossen

I am on Tanabe DF springs with the 2" drop. Alignment specs again I am out the country so I don't have them and I have to contact my dealer at Hennessy to get them.

The car rides like stock, it handles much better and feels more confident even just cruising. I am installed F-sport parts and a BBK when I return.

with the DF springs you will be with-in factory specs to get your TOE adjusted so you wont have any wear issues. Wouldn't suggest using the exact settings off another car have it done specific to your car. I would only use Mike's as a reference and nothing more.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking using Mike's alignment specs as reference and since his is a hybrid, mine will pro ply be different.

Preview....full photoshoot to come...the new Vossen CV5... 20x9 and 20x10.5...you know I like my matte graphite finish....I finally plan to wrap the window trim graphite b/c I was flirting with going silver...

I'm really happy to have gone with a full BBK as the open spokes really show them off. So far very happy!

The last photo is with CJITTY's LS 460

Man, that looks so good! Love the sporty look your car has.. Def different from the traditionally modded 3G..in a good way. What are the specs on the Vossens and tires your running.. Pulling the trigger on mine real soon.. But prob will add a 5mm spacer up front for more flushnes
