Question Getting wheels soon need Help

Hey guys, Im planning to get the Vossen VVS-CV1 once they're available for sale. I have a few questions and I need opinions. First, I know i cant use OEM lug nuts. Which are the best ones to get? i dont want the lug nuts to stick out looking all ghetto lol please those of you with aftermarket wheels help me pick a good set. Second, these wheels will be offered 20x9+38mm offset 20x10.5+42mm offset. That saying I'm planning to get my tires size 235/30/20 F & 255/30/20 R Im lowered on H&R. Im trying to avoid rubbing as much as possible. Finally, I can mount my stock TPMS sensors on these wheels correct? Ok Guys thats it sorry for the long post but I just need to be sure of everything before i purchase these wheels. Thanks in Advance to all.

tons of options out there for lug nuts, but the best ones are volk formulas and the kics project. they will run well over $200 for the set and they are made of aluminum. If you dont want to spend that much you can find other decent brands like Muteki

Dont get extended lug nuts if you dont want the to stick out.

Beerme thanks for the input. I will look into those you mentioned n others. Question the volks come with a lock nut for security? Or are they unique?
Anyone agree with my choice of tire size?

255 rear will be a little stretched, but will help avoid the rubbing...

Before ordering your lugs just say "Do these come with locks" and you will have NO problem..

I don't know much about wheels/tires so jarborn you think I should 265 or 275 rears? Or having 255 would be a problem in the long run?

245/35/20, 275/30/20.


+1 on kics and volk formula lugs. Volk comes with a security key. kicks I believe has a lock on each wheel, you'd need to double check but product description should tell you if you look them up.

Can you get a more aggressive offset for a more flush stance or are they already set?

i believe vossens come with lug nuts, there just standard ones though, nothing fancy.

with a 10.5 wheel in the back, I think you should go a little wider. 275 should not be a problem, although I am not positive with those offsets.

not positive about the volk lug nuts, I would ask a vendor about those.

Ucla thanks for the info I will sure look into those two. About the wheels offset that's the info I got from their website. I don't have much info on the concave because they not even out yet. Anyone here knows the correct offset?

The offsets i posted are the ones from the IS-F test fit. So im not positive if those are the final offsets on the wheels. Beerme so Vossen comes with lug nuts?

+20 on the front and +25 on the rear. +30 rear would be ideal IMO. +42 is weak sauce.

So here is what I'm planing to go with
20x9+20 front 245/35/20
20x10.5+25 Rear 275/30/20
is this set up ideal? I'm more worry about rubbing since I'll be driving the car a lot.
