Exclamation Vossen CVT Help

Hi everyone! I'm new here. Just bought a 2014 IS 250 F Sport Nebula Grey.

I'm planning on buying 20" Vossen CVT for my boo. I'm planning on going:
- 20x9 225/30/20 38
- 20x10.5 255/30/20 45
- & powder coating them gloss black

Does anyone have any good suggestions for tires that will fit and for a reasonable price? I'm sure my stock tires won't do (sorry I really don't know too much about cars).

Also, I'm buying RSR Downs, will it rub and will I have to roll my fenders?

IDK about rubbing issues or not, but you are correct your stock tires won't work since they are 18's and you are getting 20's. Reaonably priced tires are Hankook Ventus V12.

Thank you lysis250! I'll definitely look into the Hankook Ventus.

Anyone else have any info regarding rubbing on my fenders with those specs?

Will these fit the 20x9 38mm & 20x10.5 45mm Vossen CVT?

You should not have any rubbing issues, but be prepared the rims will stick out much further than the tires, exposing a lot of the rim for curbs etc... The tires will be stretched...
just an FYI

Hi. I am running 20" Vossen CV5 with those exact specifications on RS*R Down Springs and I don't have any rubbing issues at all. I am using Toyo Proxes 4 Plus which I got for a good price at a local shop near me. Amazing tires so if you can find a great deal on them, definitely buy those.

How much further out do you mean? And what do you mean by the tires will be stretched?

Your car looks amazing! How much did you pay for your RS*R downs for? That's the exact stance and look I'm going for in your photos, it looks so amazing. *drools ~

I bought my springs directly from RS*R so I paid whatever they are selling them for. I don't remember the exact price but you can check it out on their website.
