I purchased 3 CV4s from a buddy of mine, the forth wheel had too much damage to repair. Got them for $400, plus another new wheel for $500 and getting one refinished for damage for $100.

Ordered Falkens for $600 from Discount Tire Direct (235/30 and 275/30)
Wheels are 20x9 (38 offset) and 20x10.5 (45 offset)
Anyone ever purchase their road hazard? It is a replacement no matter how much mileages, etc. for 3 years. As long as it's above 2/32"

So all in $1,600 with new tires, I think I did good. Should have everything in and on the car within the next 3-4 weeks. This thread helped alot with tire size selections, also getting F Sport springs installed with the wheels. Will probably move over to coilovers, but I have extended warranty that covers all the stock parts until 2017.

My CV-3's rub slightly when making U-turns, 235/35/19x8.5 +35. High points on fender liner seem to rub down over time, so now the infrequent minor rubbing is no prob.

I'm running 285/30/19 tire in back, w/inside fender lip shaved. No rubbing.

07 IS350 is on Eibach 350 springs and stock sport pkg shocks.

"35" on 20's will rub every time. You need to downsize your front tires. I used to run 235/30/20 on my fronts and hardly ever rubbed except for hard dips on the freeway (I like to drive fast). I downsized to 225/30/20 and now don't rub at all.

Default Vossen CV4 on Glacier Frost Mica

I believe this is the first Glacier Frost Mica with CV4 (Machined w/ Graphite). Currently on stock height, not sure if I will lower the car yet. I have F-Sport springs (not installed), but I am already very close to rubbing on my driveway.

Tires are Falken AZENIS PT722's 235/30 and 275/30. No rub on stock height, minus a slight rub on the fender lining when making a quick turn.

Car is not as 4x4 as I was expecting on stock suspension and am pleased with the way it looks. The front is a little high, but the back looks perfect for the look I wanted.

^ not stock springs from factory, since F Sport springs were installed by dealer or another shop. Looks good.

Sorry I have a set of F Sport springs that are not installed. I may not install them as I am pleased with the overall look.

Cool a Vossen only thread! Here's my contribution to this cool thread.

19 inch CVTs in their new Gloss Graphite finish:





Was originally going to get the CV7s, but saw these in person and was converted.
