Where on the vossen site does it show any 4G's with 10.5 all around - would love to see that.

Good luck - post some pics when you have it - Some of the vossen wheels are pretty sick.

No there isn't any 4g on there with 10.5 but theres a few honda 8th gen accords i also saw a infiniti g35 and a lexus gs but the thing is im not worried about fitting a good friend of mine has friends who know how roll/ pull fenders and all the diffrent kinds of mods u need to do to fit them.My main question was since mine is a shawd how would it effect the system since all the ones i saw where 10.5 all around where FWD..thxs for the reply pete

thanks for the encouragement bro highly appreciated i called a local dealer today and he said 2000 for all four which is 400 cheaper then the vossen website but theres a lot of things i have to purchase and do to pull that look off (pull/roll fenders,camber kit, specific tire,suspension) the works so im saving my money for the spring.hopefully all goes as planned

So true... I like and keep looking at your flashy gold color engine bay. Very unique.

Yes 10.5 all around can be done. The wheel offsets will play a huge factor for it to look good. You seemed prepared and have an idea to make it work. Anything is possible and if you're willing to put forth the time and money you can make anything fit.
To fit 10.5 all around on the 4G. here's some things to keep in mind.
Be prepared to run a more than moderate stretching of tire (like a tire size 235 35 on a 10.5 wheel) needed to clear fenders.
Need coilovers or air suspension to slam the car. Springs will not work because it wouldn't lower the car enough.
Camber kit front and rear for the negative camber you're going to need to clear fenders and make it look good.
Pulled, rolled and whatever fender work is needed to make the wheel fit.
Also Wheel Spacers/Adapters may be needed if the wheel fitment failed.
I could go on and on with more stuff...Is it all worth it to run 10.5 all around? To some people yes and others no. It's your car do whatever you wish and let your dreams be a reality. Just be prepared for all the work needed to pull it off. Anything is possible.

dont forget that if your running negative camber, be prepared to buy many sets of tires.. or opt to get tires that are multi directional.

thats the main issue as of late few of my friends think its dumb for me to do that being that its brand new.they tell me do things slowly like just lower the car and put a roof spoiler for the summer and others say go for it.im torn between both cause if i do pull it off its gonna run me a pretty penny and if i dont i can save.So lets see what i decided to do

your over exaggerating a little on that. it all depends on how much camber. 1 ,2 and even 3 degrees aint that bad. its when your running 4, 5, 6 degrees which ive seen that really wears them down.

SEXY! These wheels are way better than the old ones, and those were pretty nice. The red center cap really sets off the brake calipers and red tails, and the wheel color flows with the chrome trim around your window. Well done!

I don't know...it looks ok, but...it kinda reminds me of the Kia Optima.

On a serious note, I LOVE these new wheels...they look a lot more sporty and compliment the car very well. Great job, bud!

Unique! I like your staggered set up on the SHAWD. I hope to run 275 & 245 but will have less stretch.

If you are looking to black out the trim I have a profile album. CBP TL's can get away with it!

Thanks! The 4G has so much potential to be a winner with just some tasteful mods and the great thing is it looks different than other cars on the road.
