Not trying to be a jerk here, but how wouldn't you know if your own wheels fit or not?

Because I'm sure they don't have the time or car access to test fit every wheel they make on every possible car it could go on. Just a guess.

Use a site like photobucket and/or [img] tags and a photo's URL to upload some pictures, we definitely want to solve this issue and avoid further confusion! If you could email Mike@vossenwheels.com that would be very helpful. (Only reposting this since Mike misspelled his email address... )

Sounds like we were initially right to say they won't bolt right on and fit without modifications (that some customers might be unsure about). But, if it is a simple remedy, we'd love to see some pictures detailing it so we can see more ISF's on 19's!

And Lance is right, we don't have access to every car to test-fit these things. But, hey, it happens! We are only human, after all!

Your guess is right. We test fit as many combinations of wheels/cars that we can and take pretty precise measurements to ensure we offer the correct fitments. In some rare cases like this one we find out that something we did not recommend can indeed work.

We have now invested in a 3D scanner which will offer even more precise measurments and fitment recommendations.

Polkman is going to be nice enough to come by Monday for us to inspect.

Oh really? Is that your guess?

The issue with the wheels fitting is the brake clearance, so all they would need access to is a few cars with different BBK setups. Not hard.

I apologize for the crappy iPhone pics. Had these on my phone from a few months ago.

Default Cv3' 19

Ok so i just got my new baby (08 is 350).. I am planning on adding an eibach drop which will cause 1" drop in front and .8" drop in back. MY boy has some vossen 19" staggered at 8.5 and 10. he claims he thinks the offset is 35 all around but he also says he isnt sure. dont those wheel only come in offset et 32 and et 38? When i threw them on my car the tires rubbed bad on the fender lip when i went slow over speed bumps and with no one in the car and even on slight road level changes. I do not want to rub, modify fenders, scrape, drag, or any of that. not even with the wheels turned or loaded with 4 passengers. What tire packages do you guys recommend and please send some pics! here are a few of mine but keep in mind its less than two weeks old.. also keep in mind it only rubbed the back. thanks for any advice! this site seems to be very helpful for us Lexus enthusiasts
