Do you have any rubbing with the vossen's?

I usually always go with Asanti's..but, I'm sick of the 3-piece wheels. Its always something..the silicone has to be redone, rim has a whole, etc..very annoying.

I was not happy with the dealer installed Vossens on my GS460.

The barrels were easily dented and looked bad after 1 year. It seemed that they were damaged by the hand car wash and their wooden wheel brushes. I had 275s on the back, on stock springs and I tore up the sidewall on the driver's side because it would catch on the fender trim.

I rubbed in back and front when I encountered any dip in the road and with people in the car, I cringed because it rubbed in the back when I hit the smallest imperfection in the road.

I put the stock rims back on...

I totally agree about tires, I just recently replaced my Yokohama S.Drive tires with Falken ones, and car doesn't rub. Same size just different brand!

Also looks like the Falken tires have a nicely rounded tire walls than the Yokos did!

There are multiple 3GS's with Vossen wheels with great fitment. A couple below.
