VOSSEN W203, NEW WHEELS!

Purchased a new set of vossen CV3 rims, felt like i had to change my theme up a little bit so i decided to go with matte graphite to bring out some contrast.
Specs: F 19x8.5
R 19x10
Offsets: +32/35

They came out to be 1800 without tires. Definitely worth it though, I like how I can see my concave through my side mirrors.

looks nice but imo, they are not ET20 rears, and fronts are not for sure 8,5 ET15.

to look perfect (imo) they need rear spacers, 5 or 10mm's

I didn't want the colors to match, I already had black/black on my previous set up. Graphite is a neutral color which enhances the color of my brakes but thanks anyways. Those are the 90s south side air maxes.

I need to double check the offset again, I thought that was what I was I told but yes I am going to add a 5mm in the rear and some more camber to the rear.

Geez, 19's don't work for these crazy, crater filled, winter roads in PA/NJ. You cali guys have it good. Worth a shot, though. Good choice for new rims

Yo I am running the same offsets with 9 .5 in the rear and I am having some rubbing issues..I also am running coilovers I with ghostriders camber kit installed.. I'm only about half way down in the back and am eating through tires like its my job.. What mileage are you getting out of your tires? Right now im getting between 8 and 10k miles.. I am running michelin pilot sports.. If this is what I can expect then I am probably going to go with a cheaper tire.. any thoughts ...? tire size 255-35-19.. I know I need an alignment but running that much camber to make them fit properly seems like I will still probably eat through tires.. I guess what I really am asking is what are you guys doing to dial your coilovers in, have some semi aggressive drop, while keeping your alignment as close to factory as possible.. By the way my tires are only getting ate up on the very extreme inner part of the tire right where it meets the sidewall.. I understand that this is not only a camber problem but rear toe as well.. Car looks awesome man.. Any help is appreciated ..

Camber will automatically eat through your tires, well atleast it does through mine. One of the things i did to correct that was adjusting my toe which was significantly improving. Also, consider the way that you drive. I drive more lets say "considerate" now. The camber is going to look good but at the price of your tires. Id say get an alignment and address your problem with the tech/mechanic to try and get it dialed in to where you can settle in between oem fitment and cambered. its entirely up to you.
