Hey All,
I am considering buying the Vossen CV5's for this upcoming summer. My M35 is back on its stock suspension but that will change once summer approaches. I am really diggin the Vossen CV5 rims. I noticed the sizes for 20's are 20x9 and 20x10.5. I also noticed that the 20x10.5's are used in the back since they are wider. Any idea what offset is needed? I was told that for the M35 AWD offset needs to be 20 or more. Any help is much appreciated as I am new to this rim thing lol!

Are you planning on running the staggered setup on the AWD?

Hey fat3oy. Not sure what the staggered set up is. I know since its AWD the rims have to meet certain specifications correct?

I am planning on going with the Staggered setup. 20x9 fronts & 20x10.5 in back if possible. See pic of rims I want to get if it gets to show.

Re: your offset Q:
I can tell you that anything < and up to et +30 will NOT tuck/fit w/o rubbing/damage to something, without at least 3* of negative camber, a drop of some sort, ideally a fender pull should be in there too.
I was running stock R35 GTR wheels in the rear 10.5 et +25 on my '06 M35 sport (RWD not AWD) with HT springs, neg. 3 camber dialed in and a fender pull and still once in a while on a dip/bump at speed I could hearing the tire rubbing.
Later I got an 09 M35 Sport, instead of a fender pull, I had the GTR offset increased to apprx. et + 37, I have a more drop aggressive with the D2 CO's (vs the prior springs on my06) but I have NO Rubbing whatsoever with that offset.
