Matte White bagged FX45 on 22' Vossen CV3 (RigShot)

So is it +30 w/ the 25mm spacer? Or is it +30 and then 25mm spacer so +5? I'm guessing the former since I can't see how a +5 on a 10.5 would tuck w/o extreme camber. Looking at your pic, you definitely will have issues w/ the part beneath the door edge if you go too aggressive. It's the part right at the corner of the door, I'm guessing it's a weld or something for reinforement. That part will not roll flat and I don't think cutting it off would be a good idea. Having said that, if you were to trim the plastic back and roll the fenders flat, you'd get a lot more space to work. I'll try to get a pic of my fenders.

BTW, if you want to go more aggressive in the front, you can pinch the fenders flat. That would give you a little more room to work with, but it won't make as big of a difference as rolling the rears. I'm going to do that soon, I already rubbed off one of the front wheel liner fasteners.
 
FX looks sick, not to be rude or anything but on your 6th pic it seems like the paint ran a little bit by the passenger tail light. It's either that or my iPad is messed up.

Wheel is +30 offset and i added a 25mm spacer so +5 total in the rear.

I still have a good amount of room in the front since the tire is a little stretched. I'm planning on taking off the 5mm spacer and replacing it with a 15mm or 20mm then go a little more negative camber.
Hopefully i wont need to trim anything.

On my old wheels every time i lowered the car that trim would get pushed out. It got on my nerves so i decided to stretch my tire a little when i got the new wheels.
These wheels were 22X9.5, +19 offset, no spacer, tire was 265/35/22

Not rude at all. I did a Plastidip job on my car. Its pretty much a spray on wrap job. I did it outdoors and at night so it came out really bad. Good from far but far from good. I already peeled the hood off and plan on peeling the whole car soon and respraying it right.
Here's some more detailed pics on how bad it came out. A lot of helpful people on there.

Here's a video of a few friends peeling the hood.

but that plasti dip should be peeling way way easier than that....I wonder why or what happened...how long did you leave it on the car?

Thanks man, the hood was my worse part. Sprayed too far away creating a lot of texture and not enough coats. Thick coats comes off really easy. Learned from my mistakes.
 
Wheels are very, very nice, normally the spoke gap would make me itch but your combo works. Personally, I'd cut your nuts off:) not my style but its your style, not mine.......
 
Wow, +5 is impressive. I got as low as +10 for testing purposes on 10.5", but it rubbed over the tiniest bumps. My tires are 285/35's though, so by going 265/35, that's a good bit narrower and shorter. If you rolled the fenders flat and cut the trim to match, you could easily go out another 20mm. I'd be iffy about running spacers that big though. Maybe could have gone w/ a 12" rim? Too late for that now. For the front, I was at +25 (where you are now) and 9.5" width w/ 265/40 when I rubbed off the trim tab. But my camber was nowhere near yours, it was at -.5. If I can figure out my camber plates and match the front camber to rear, I'm estimating a 9.5" rim could probably go into the single digits w/ the stretched tire and camber. If you pinch the front fender, you could get another 5+mm of clearance. So if you're running a 5mm spacer now, you could go w/ a 15mm and not touch the fender trim.

As it is though, everything looks great!
 
looks great! digging the painted lowers. it might look even cleaner with the hatch spoiler painted white too..?

bags and vossens = really doing it right.

nice plate, too haha!

so on a bagged fx can u run 22x10.5 all around with 30 offsets? +30 seems like the lowest offset for the 22"

If you're stock height or just lowered but not tucking you can roll 10.5 all around with around +10 or +15 offset if you stretch the tire. Don't hold me to that though because i haven't tried it. I'm just sure it would work from what Ive seen on my car. Just watch out for inner clearance on the front wheel to the strut.
I bought +30 offset because that's all they had. I put 25mm spacers in the rear with a 265/35/22 tire on 10.5 wheel and it tucks good.

On bags i can't do a 10.5 and tuck in the front because i don't have enough inner clearance. I'd have to space it out more and that would cause the tire to hit the fender. I need to do some rolling and trimming then see if i can fit that 10.5 in the front.

I thought about leaving it white but it didn't flow with my black roof.
Here's a pic of my car while i was peeling it.
