I bet does are a lot of $$$$ but if you like that wheels you should check out the Vossen CV2 and they are concave but I bet half the price but if you do get it!!! They are real nice. By the way I have the CV2 in C!!!

Yes that's my car, I'm using H&R supper sport with the stock pad, check out the new picture I just posted. One thing how big is the lip going to be anyway??? With our offset and the concave of the wheel the lip can't be that big??? But they are real nice for sure...

I have correct offset F44, R55. 235/275 you always have to have the correct offsets if not any size wheel will rub 18,19.....

Also a large factor is what you lowered on, it may take 3,000 miles for your springs to properly settle.. Soo depending on how often you drive your car.. In my case on the weekends, soo it took 6 months for my springs to settle and now realizing I'm slightly rubbing when I hit "bumps, dips" just my experience.

Vertini wheels, made for our cars.. 19" idk the exact offsets and tire size.. Lowered on supersports.. Didn't start rubbing until about a month ago.. I had asantis with the exact specs b4 this set, lowered on sports and no rubbing.. Soo I came to the conclusion that my springs officially settled and now I rub only in the front..
