I do have a brembo bbk on it so it made it more difficult but they spoke with brembo to see what would fit. I'm running spacers on my rear custom wheels that were $750 a piece
Thanks for the compliments! We do our best to offer a good range of sizes and offsets to please everyone! And that's a shame, CCW does a good business, but I guess a spacer is better than the wheels not clearing the brakes at all!

Yeah, they look way better in person, I personally wanted the cv3s but I feel like everyone has them already so I wanted to try something different.

You should keep the wheels and get the 460! Those aren't in production anymore so gonna be rare

If I remember correctly aren't the vibrations caused by the different tire heights you get from staggered wheels? Has anyone even tried going with non-staggered all around to see if that aleviates the vibrations?

Or....is this caused by the car being lowered?

Before you put the stock springs back on, leave it lowered and put the stock wheels on. If that takes care of it then you can do wheels just can't go staggered. The GS looks really nice without staggered.

Does anyone have a video they can upload to youtube or something showing the vibration from dropping the AWD? I really love the drop and wheels, but not at the expense of the ride itself. I rather have a good ride than a nice looking dropped car.
