Suggestions for 19in rims on Xs sedan

If you buy the wheels & tires as a package, and the retailer is on the ball with this issue, then it will be taken care up as part of the deal. Vossen is supplying these adapters to their retailers, and instructed them to ask about BBK when ordering a 19" deep-inner lip rim. The point being: 19" deep-lip Vossens will work with the Akebono BBK, but only if you have a shorty valve stem.
Those are nice.

I have 20's Inch CVT's for summer. Which yes are quite heavy, but I like the look haha.
However, I went with a different setup for winter, I'm only an inch or so lowered during winter with some Niche Targas to give you an idea of how they look. They definitely aren't light though.
Although, I'd echo the comment about being cautious about BBKs fitting. I know that both Vossen and Niche were very helpful when it came to that. Niche recommended I go with 19x8.5 with +25 offset to ensure BBKs cleared. (Not installed yet, currently sitting in my spare room).

standard length valve stems in the 19" don't clear the front calipers, spacer or no spacer. So Vossen provides a valve stem adapter with a shorter length stem.
Wait, apparently I said this already right here in this thread, like a year ago. Hahaha... wow.

I did pre-emptively ask Niche what sizing they'd recommend to go with BBK's, so we'll see how accurate they are.

So many considerations configuring two sets of wheels and tires, swapped twice a year. You would think something like rims would be plug-n-play, but once you start modding the car, even wheel issues become a project.
