Question for the Vossen guys:

What is the best combination of a staggered setup to get the widest tires in a 19" setup without any shaving or rolling on stock suspension?

Eg. The factory setup is

225x40x18 Offset (???) - Front
255x40x18 Offset (???) - Rear

Thank you as well .... I'm running 20's ... I didnt have to touch the rear at all because of the tire set up I have, but the front yes. 19's I'm not sure, but I have been debating about dropping down to 19's

Thanks RPM Steve.
Given that the factory setup with 18" is +45/+50 front/rear, what is the widest tire that the wheel well will accommodate for a 18" setup and what offset?

Stock height you're fine, but I'm on BC coils .... it's the top tab in the center of the fender liner; it all depends on how low you want to go ...

Vossen is definately making some hott rims, i got to give it to them bcuz their a fairly new brand and they have made a good name for themself. I personally love the 083's in machined silver but i think their new CV-2 might be the ones for me.
