I would like price for 19x8.5 high offset and 19x10 high offset shipped to 11746 for my Lexus IS350 AWD. Also can someone let me know if these will fit over the caliper of my lexus. I was thinking of adding extended studs and a 5 or 10mm spacer depending on clearance and tire size I would pick. What does delivery time look like?

I would also like diego to chime in about a 19x10 fitment all around for my lexus if its possible as that would be my preffered setup. My car is lowered on coilovers

On the IS350 the 19x10 will be aggressive with our +42 up front. I only know one person who has "made it work" with a 20x10 +45 up front but pulled his fenders, stretched his tires and added spacers.

We recommend to stick with the 19x8.5/19x10

I probably will stick with the staggered setup just for the ease of it. When I had the CV3s in their highest offset they rubbed front and back, but on my G I am running some flush offsets and I have no problems. As soon as I get a price for these and some tires from the local guy I am going to order these. Did you guys make the graphit finish for the 19s or just silver

Only silver is available but many customers have custom painted their own sets. For the 3IS the 20x10.5 +45 is aggressive! Our 19x8.5/19x10 +32/42 are perfect for the 2014 IS.

According to an email from Allen at VOSSEN:

"The CVT 19x8.5 weighs 26 pounds and the 19x10 weighs 27 pounds."

In the context of the staggered 18" rims on the RWD Sport Sedan, that's an increase of 2 pounds each, front to back. However, if you replace the OEM Bridgestones with Michelin PSS, you'll lose 3 to 4 pounds respectively on each corner, front to back. So it's a wash, all things considered. Maybe even a pound loss.

Assuming Diego confirms fitment with the "shorty" TPMS matched with the Akebono BBK, then I think I can live with that bit of rationalization.

The test is complete and all was a great success!!

If you have a Sport model G coupe or Sedan we will supply you with an OEM TPMS adapter to clear the sport brakes with our 19x8.5.

Excellent. How will I get these special shorty TPMS? Will you be providing them to retailers like N4S here, or should I deal with you directly for a pair? Now that you've confirmed fitment, I'll be purchasing a set of CVT's in February.

Seems I'll be purchasing TPMS, Tires and Wheels seperately because of the special consideration for the fronts, unless VOSSEN and N4S have something worked out, and their pricing is in line with expectation.

Hey Laura... you reading this? It seems we're back on track.

You can still use your OEM sensors! This is just an adapter that will attach to your OEM sensor. We will supply them to our dealers. N4S will be the one placing your order and these will be included

Um, OK. So I'll be ordering original equipment NISSAN Sensors, but just need to make sure N4S includes these adapters. Got it.

What's the adapter look like, Diego? I'm guessing something that changes the angle of the valve stem.

Exactly! It will do the trick. We have contact all dealers and informed them on the update.

Yep, Just now reading up on this... YAY!!

So when we place the order for you we will inform Vossen that you have the BBK and they will be providing these with the wheels for us.

Let me know when you would like to order! We can always do a 50% deposit to place the order for you. Ive had a lot of inquiries about these CVTs in the 19" lately.

Taking this into PM now with N4S for specifics.

Good job, Diego.
