Default Anybody have 19" CV3s?

I've looked through all the threads of IS-F's on CV3s and they look great, but they all seem to be 20". Has anybody purchased the 19" CV3s?

I recall seeing a dark blue IS on Matte Graphite 19" CV3's, searching for the pictures now!

Edit! Here's the car I was referring to! Belongs to CL member Wasawat


Found another 2IS on 19's that belongs to CL member bryong1 and has 235/35/19 and 275/30/19 tires

Exclamation

I was thinking the same thing, but when I contacted Vossen about it just a few days ago, this was their reply:

"Sadly our 19" wheels don't clear the IS F brakes, the 20's do.... Sadly the brake will hit part of the wheel due to the design. Sorry."

so I'm on the same boat as you now, looking for other 19" 5-spoke options.

D-oh! Forgot about the ISF brakes, good catch DS2K! The extra .5" in width on the 20's helps to clear those big brakes.

Check out CCW wheels. They actually make the wheels to spec so you can choose your offsets or tell them the fit you are after and they will provide the wheels in the respective offset's. they also have very nice high quality wheels. No Chinese BS or a set of pre-made offsets to choose from. The prices are very competitive based on the available options.

O'really now? Well my isf is on 19s cv3s and it seems to fit great. However I did have to remove the air caps in the front to avoid rubbing. But other than that it fits.

Is it a diameter issue or offset issue? If they won't clear the brakes because of the offset then I can just add some spacers.

So (except for any fender rubbing), your 19" CV3s fit fine with no issues? Pics?

There's no rubbing at all with the fenders. My tpms air cap use to scrape on my BBKs until I took the cap off. I don't know how to add pictures onto these forums but ill pm you my number and can send you pics from my phone.

Well good to hear but based on what was said above by vossen themselves the first thing that comes to mind is inconsistent fitment. Either way I personally think this wheel style is very nice and compliments the F very well! I actually like almost all of Vossens designs and I would purchase these if I could choose my actual offsets.

To the OP goodluck on your search!

That was my follow up question to them, but they essentially said don't bother.

you'll have to upload them to an image hosting site (flickr, tinypic, etc.) and then post the links here.
