Splat - does Vossen hire sub-contractors to answer their phones? Hmmmmm... Since you have no issues and they fit with no rubbing, can you go outside and snap some pics from directly behind/along the side? Also from the top down along the rear fender. That should help us all decide on what we want to do with our wheel setup...

They are not my rims, nor are they on the car now. I lent them the car for the photo shoot, and before the shoot we took my rims off and put on one of theres on to make sure everything would clear. It did so we then put rims and tires on and took it out.

Just called Vossen Directly 305-463-7778 and was told that in fact the wheels do rub on the back on the IS-F the guy who I talked told me he could make a 3 pice wheel fit since they are custom made and that the best offset would be 48 on our cars. that's a shame since the wheel does look good on our IS-F

Hey guys.. these wheels fit very aggressive on the rear of the IS-f. If the car is lowered you will have to roll/stretch the fenders and/or run a stretched tire.

If the car is stock height it will fit much better.. but slightly rub if the car goes on a big bump or dip.

specs are:

20x9 - +38
20x10.5 - +42

Jav - thanks for finally responding....is there an option on this wheel to bring the offset IN so that it won't rub? Maybe 5 mm or so?

It would be nice to know how much of a problem this will be, with regards of the rubbing. Basically this wheel might only be possible with coilovers but not with lowering springs.

We got the wheels in and test fitted the rim. The rim itself sticks out about .75" past the car unsprung. My iforged stick out .2" unsprung and already those needed to be shaved.

I'm waiting on tires to figure out the final decision, but I'd guess you will need to be stretched and hella shaved/rolled to get these on your ISFs

I almost ordered these and would have suffered through some crazy rubbing. Whoever from D2 PM'd me back info about these wheels being made to fit our cars is full of crap!!!!

I should add the fit and finish of the wheel is great - Jav has been great to answer my questions.

Also The weight is that of a cast wheel.
