these are absolutely fire. i almost jumped on their black friday sale too but they didnt have the vfs2 i wanted for our MS. i ended up finding some used 22"s on fb for a great deal (but have since removed them because they kill me on range!)
question though- why did you need a hubcentric spacer? i installed mine with no issue. or maybe i just wasnt aware of it. would like to know because im on the market for the vossen vfs 1 or 2 (if anyone is selling some?!
and dont want to have any isues. thank you and good looking car!

Just an FYI r0bgj,
Here are m Vossen CV4 Matte Graphite (285/35/20 rear, 245/40/20 front). However they stopped make these. I do like the new VFS 4. If I need new wheels I will always go with Vossens or HRE.

I tried to buy rims from them twice. The first time they returned the money and said that the payer and the recipient must be one person. I paid again from the recipient, waited two weeks, after which they said they would send in 3 days and a month later they said that they can't send to Russia. Be careful if you want to receive outside the United States.

Are there any problems when using front tires 255/40 K20 when reversing?
They do just barely rub in a turning reverse through a range, but not if I am facing downhill. It’s a gentle rubbing
Are there any problems with dirt on the body because of the greater offset? And with the track on the road because of the different widths of the front and back?
not that I notice, the offset is pretty tame. I did 7mm off of the stock 8.5" X 21" wheels just so I could be in F Street for autocross. Does not push it out much at all

Tire Rack had a closeout special on the 21” Axis Model S rim. The rears were $132 per rim and the fronts were $230 per rim. Mounted a set of Falken Azenis FK510’s
Decided to use the opportunity to show my 14 year old son how to change a tire.

QUESTION:
How many of you folks with 21s are having issues with inner fender rubbing?
I have 21” factory turbines painted metallic charcoal, and I added 20mm spacers because i strongly prefer wheels that sit flush with the fender.
Trouble is, it seems like anything above +35 offset starts to rub on the front inner fender.
Dropping the PSI from 50 to 45 seemed to help, but not solve the problem. And I was hoping to do drop links, but with this much rubbing I’m not sure that’s an option.
How are y’all getting the flush look without a ton of rubbing??
Here’s mine, btw:

I'm riding with 245/40 8.5x20 24et up front and the only time I hear rubbing is in reverse near full lock. And my car has been lowered about 3/4".

I imagine the 20” vs 21” gives you a solid amount more space in the arch than I have with 21s.
Actually they are nearly identical in diameter to the stock 245/35/21. 704mm vs 704.9mm

I'm certain your offset is causing the rubbing. It never did it before you put the spacers on, right?
What you can do is heat up the area of the fender well that is rubbing and push it forward so the tire no longer comes in contact with it.
Or you can shave your spacers a few millimeters.
Aggmeister201we have noticed after lowering a Model S, the rubbing may go away as the we've noticed the rubbing is only on the front surface (closest to the front bumper) of the front inner fender liner (and only rubs at certain angles). Offset, wheel width and tire size/brand also plays factors in the rubbing.
We identified rubbing using a 21x9.0+30 on a factory Michelin 245/35-21. When we backed the offset down to a +35, and lowered an S on the same tire, we noticed no rubbing. Keep in mind not tires of the same size are equal in dimension (some are rounder and some are square on the edges).

20” TE37 Ultra Track Editions in diamond black gunmetal color. Have been looking for a set for the past year that fits the model S.
Lowered on Unplugged Performance lowering brackets for Air Suspension models.
The best looking wheels I have seen under Tesla. I have been looking for OZ Challenge lookalikes but in 20''. But these look super mean as well.
