I have a 235/35/20 on an 11". It's a 2.5mm less stretch on each side.

Tires are Hankook V4's. If you're running a true tire or a tire that runs large, you won't have any problems at all.

So, your "flush, stance, etc..." is the pot calling the kettle black. Jus sayin



aaaaaaaaanywho, my experience with Vossen goes as follows.

Summer 2009- Looking for wheels for the 300C. Oh SCHNAP CV1's in 22 coming soon. Okay. I like these and their different.
September- Hey Vossen. I see you have concave wheels coming out soon in 22inch. Any chance there will be a bolt pattern for the LX model of vehicles (charger, magnum, 300)
-Yes. We will be making them for numerous cars.
-cool. Hey, I would like a set. can you build me some?
-Sure can. We'll get back to you.
Jan 2010-Hey. Vossen. Just checking in with you guys on the CV1's.
-Well, the price is $$$$. We can start making them with a deposit.
Feb 2010- I will send you my money to have wheels made.
May 2010- Hey, are the wheels done yet?
-No. Not yet. Almost though.
-Ok.
-You should give us just a liillllll bit more money.
-Uhhhhh...really? I mean...well...ummm...I'm not really sure that makes a bunch of sense if-
-c'monnnn. we're good for it.
-Ummm...ok. here you go.
June 2010-So, they finished yet? Really would love to have the wheels. Show season underway and whatnot.
-Allllllllmost.
July 2010-Heyyy guys. Hate to be "that guy" but trying to get to a show coming up. How are those wheels coming along?
-Oh. almost done. give us a minute.
August 2010-Soooooo, yeah. What had happened to the wheels that I had paid you to make for my car that I had wanted and paid for?
-Oh yeah. Not quite done.
-HMPH!
September 2010.-Can I have my money back.
-We're sorry.
-mmmm-hmmmm. Hey. Option 5? got some 22inch concaves for my C?
-Yes. they cost this much less than the vossens that you never got and people will like them more.
-I'll take them.
-Here you go.
-Hey, people like them more.

Teh end.


They weren't @$$holes or nothing but...c'mon...i mean...c'mon!!
LOL...cool story. So what wheels did you end up getting. I've had mixed experiences with Vossen. One day I'll call and get a really helpful person. Another day I get a person that sounds irritated cuz he had to answer the phone. I actually bought my rims through Discount Tire. When I told them I was ordering the offsets for a 350z, Vossen swore up and down that they wouldnt fit....I sent them a pic after the wheels were mounted to prove them wrong.

Option5 wheel. It's a 5 spoke concave design based off (read exactly like) MB AMG 5spoke wheel. I like'em.

I talked mostly with Jay. We were professional towards each other. Like I said, it wasn't a bitter thing, but c'mon...i mean...c'mon.

Most wheel companies will say they wheels won't fit if you're doing anything other than a little more aggressive than OEM. That's because they don't want to sell a wheel and have a customer complain about how it doesn't fit. There's a few companies out there that have a wheel guy that can incorporate the whole flush thing....Vossen I don't think is one of them. If I asked for a 19x9, 19x10 -40/-30 they would say it would never fit a G sedan and laugh at me. I'd sure as hell make it fit. Those specs are a bit off but damn, got me thinking about running those offsets lol.

You could do it. Look at it this way:

19x11 +11
19x12 +21

I mean, those are double digit + offsets. Not that aggressive at all

I fail at jokes . Going with a wider wheel but higher offests.

19x9 -40 = 19x11 +11 (approx 51mm difference)
19x10 -30 = 19x12 +21 (approx 51mm difference)

19x12 +21 would rub some serious strut.
