Default Niche Milan in lieu of Vossen CV3

Has anyone looked at going with the niche Milan? The allow for a 9.5 on the rear. I have been told toe 10.5 vossen requires some work to be done on the car which I am not willing to do. This niche is the closest thing I can find and is actually cheaper as well. Looking at doing 19's with RSR downs. Any input is appreciated.

We carry both Vossen and Niche and both are great options

The Finish that the Niche Wheels come standard are killer and fitment is great as well

the 19" Vossen Wheels come in a newly revised offset that allows for proper fitment on the 3IS

Niche Wheels will fit the 3IS great as well and the pricing is killer

The CV3 comes in 19X10 in the rear. Will that .5 make a difference? I don't want to do any body modification either. Going with RSR Down Springs and 19's. Just want to drop the car a little and put some nice wheels on, nothing extra.

I have 20x10.5 Vossens on mine...it will only require a slight pull on the rear if you are slamming or any lower than my car currently sits...if it just springs or a mild drop then you will be fine

19x10 will work fine lowered

I would use a 265/30/19 tire

Ok, now I may be considering 20's but need some input. Look on Vossen's website and they offer 20x8.5 | 20x9 | 20x10 for the CV3's. I do not want to mod my fenders and do not want to stretch the tires unless that is the only option. What size wheels should I go with, what offset would you guys suggest, and tire size?

The Best fitment for the IS if you are lowering it is the following for a straight forward application

20x8.5 + 38
20x10 + 45

Tire sizing I would do a

235/30/20
265/30/20

It will provide a slight stretch on the rear but seeing you do not want to modify that's what needs to be done.

If you roll your fenders that will greatly help.

Also your going the right way with RSR springs.

I am a authorized dealer for them and I can tell you their amazing and work great on the Lexus
