Probably a better choice for a staggered setup than my all-wheel-drive frankly, although I've been pleasantly surprised about the absence of understeer at any reasonable speed. Still haven't been able to get the car on a skid pad on track mode to see if track mode allows that extra rear wheel width to really manifest itself in terms of better traction out of the corners. One thing is for sure and that is the setup looks phenomenal. That vorsteiner 107 is a gorgeous wheel.

You probably want 9.5 inch wheel width on that size. You can probably get a 9 inch wheel to work but it wouldn't be my first choice. Even with a 9.5 you're going to squeeze the tire a little bit. That tire fits best probably on a 10 inch wheel but a 9.5 is probably a sweet spot. As for range hit I would bet that that's depending on the rolling resistance of the tire you choose.

I ordered the same ones in 20x9 ET 32. They weigh about 23.5 - 24 lbs and require hub rings 73.1 OD > 64.1 ID. My should be installed either on the weekend or early next week.

Got my wheels and tires mounted up the other day...quick iPhone photo after. 19x9.5 +35 Avant Garde M580. 265/30/19 Bridgestone Potenza S-04 Tires.
Currently on the Tsport lowering springs. I have the MPP comfort coil overs on order, hopefully they come off back order soon. It’s just not quite low enough for what i want.

Wow - that's really light for a 20" non-forged wheel. Have you actually weighed one?
Bummer about the hub rings - not really a fan of those.
Thanks for the info - please post a pic once they're on your car!

Anyone has 19" VS Forged wheels who could share weight information? I'm getting ready to place my order for a set of VS Forged VS10. Just trying to get a sense of their weight. I'm trying to balance size/aesthetics/efficiency. At this point, 19x9.0 is the leading contender. Would like to run 245/40-19 tires. I have the OEM 18" wheels, which are ~21.6 lbs each.
Thanks.
Thanks.
My VS 06 19x8.5" wheels should be showing up in a week or two. They are supposed to be around ~21 lbs. I'll weigh and take pics when I get them.

Great. Much appreciated. I hope your wheel can come in close to 20 lb, if not under.

That sounds reasonable i suppose, my flow formed 19x9.5 wheels are about 23 lbs with an 1800 lb load rating.
I just weighed mine on my bathroom scale, which may not be super accurate, but they weighed 24.8 lbs each. Surprisingly, the 10.5" weighed the same as the 9" - not sure why...
They are beautiful and were very well packaged. I'm excited for warmer weather so that I can get them installed!
Looks like the center cap is a different size. Do the S/X wheels have a larger center cap? wonder if they might fit?

Has anyone installed 18x8.5 +45 offset aftermarket wheels on their stock 235/45-18 Michelin tires?
I’m looking into a set of wheels with the +45 offset and I’d like to see if it’s a complete waste of an aftermarket wheel with that much rubber (45 profile) or not. 19s would be ideal I think but the wheel only comes in an 18 or 20

I had my wheels installed today. 305forged performance wheels in 20x9 with a 32 offset. They come out 14.4 mm more than stock. Honestly, I wouldn’t go further out than this. They weigh about 23.5 - 24 lbs. That’s about right compared to other flow forged rims. I’m running the General G-Max AS-05 in 245/35/20, 23 lbs in that size. Here are some pictures.
Something I've not seen elsewhere are the VS Forged VS03 in a Gloss Black Tinted Face finish on the thread you shared.
