19 inch CVTs in their new Gloss Graphite finish:

Was originally going to get the CV7s, but saw these in person and was converted.
Any rubs? They are 19x8.5 and 19x10 right?

Any rubs? This is the exact model I want for my IS350 but really trying to stay away from 20"...

Currently I have the exact same configurations with Vossen CV1 however the back rub on big bumps and the front rub when turning to park.

I have 285/30/20 with my 20" CV1 in the rear and rubs on big bumps or passengers on rear seats.

Hey there again buddy lol! This time I know the deal hehe! My wheels specs are 19x8.5 +32 front and 19x10 +42 rears both at 5x114 CB 73.1. Yeah I figure the wider tire you got would cause the rub.

Yes, my custom tire/wheel shop knew it before the installation so they shaved the rear fender and tested fit through range of suspension travel afterwards (therefore no rub).

285/30/19 is nearly ideal size for 10" wide wheel, and its only about 1/4" less rolling diameter than stock rear tire.

When browsing for wheels/tires prior to my purchase I was always given the same specs as the recommended sizes for the car. Didn't want to play with that and sacrifice or mod anything for bigger wider tires/wheels. Glad it worked out for you though man.

With that setup you rear wheels is actually smaller in diameter and circumference than the front.... will that not be an issue?

Really thinking about going for the CVT but can't make up my mind what rear tire size I wanna go for. If I go 275/30/19 or 275/35/19 will the rear rub on stock height? Really trying to find the maximum size I could get without any rub....

What do you mean? The rears are 10 inch width which is bigger than the fronts which are 8.5 and same wheel size all around. I think 19s are the best to get without rubbing. Then again it also depends on your plans for lowering.
