Vossen CV5 Wheel

tnguyen7787 · 11-17-2014, 10:04 AM

I'm looking to buy the Vossen CV5 for my 370z, but just wondering how is the performance of those wheels? Thanks

Spec: 20x9 +20 20x10.5 +25
Tires: Hankook 235/30 255/30

Please expend on what you mean by performance.

nismo9132 · 11-17-2014, 10:16 AM

Probably means performance of the tires?

Aren't 235 and 255 kinda narrow? I have 235s on my Altima

I dont think you get performance out of this wheels.

Maybe with how much it weighs could save you extra seconds.

+1 on wat you mean by "performance" of the wheels.

if you're rock crawling those boat anchors will give you the stability needed...

those tires are too narrow for your Z... and get nicer brand tires for your nicer wheels.

You need way more rubber on those sizes. My fronts are 255, and the backs are 285 and I want to go larger.

I was going to post a pic but I don't have any current pics with the new tires and having raised the car and put on camber kits. When it stops raining I'll grab a couple. I have the CV3s in those sizes, though they measure the front wheels at 9.5".

Tires will be too small. You can easily run 255/35/20 and 305/30/20!

You should see if these are still for sale. Its weird that you are looking for the same exact wheels and tires that he has for sale...

Not good with that much stretch on the tires.
