They are already available in Japan

All our Europe distributors will have them in two weeks.

And they are scheduled to reach the US at the end of March. Delays were caused due to the fact that we completely remade the front wheel and made it slightly concaved.

So these wheels only available in 20x9 and 20x10.5 at launch? Will these fit 2009 IS350 with no modification (stock specs)? What tire size is recommended with these rims?

I talked to the guys at Vossen and they said the concave wheels will not fit as the front pads are 4mm too big. That means that the offest is 42 mm rather than 45mm so you would have mod the fenders if you want the concave wheel to fit in the front.

It is because the wheel is concave and you cant shave the pads anymore not the size of the wheel. I am running the vvs-086 in 20x9 and 20x10.5 lowered on tein coilovers and no fender mods.

Who did you talk to at Vossen? The front wheel is a 20x9 +38 just like all our other wheels. So they will fit perfect.

The rear is a 20x10.5 +42.. All our other wheels are +45. So the CV1 will only be 3mm different in the rear compared to our other wheels. Not a big deal at all.

+38 and +42 and your guys are complaining about rubbing? You are even lucky you can get any kind of concave look at all with that high of offsets. Some of us here are running +22 and lower offsets all around so you shouldnt have to worry about those kinds of offsets.

That is a must have rim. The rear rim looks crazy with the center of the rim concaved.
