Used Vossen CV3's for '07 Type S

Hi Guys,
Lookin into purchasing a used set of 19" vossen cv3s off of craigslist... Im gonna visit the guy tomorrow and test fit them on my 07 TL-S. Im not lowered yet but will be on tiens, soon.

My question is... First time buying used rims so what kind of things do i need to consider other than looking for dents, bends etc? I want to put them on my TL n drive around to make sure they are good before i purchase.

1. The guy said they dont come with tpms sensors so the light will come on.. Can i install my current tpms sensors from stock wheels into the new ones?

2. Wheels are staggered. Front: 245/30/19 9.5". Rear: 275/30/19 10.5
He had them on his lexus IS250. Will these fit my 07 tl s without any spacers, modification etc? It currently has stock suspension but will have the tein basics adjustable coilovers soon.

Any pointers from your experience will be much appreciated. Droppin close to 2Gs so i want to make sure i check everything before buying.

Test fit those wheels before handing over the cash; that's the best way to make sure you won't have any issues. If the seller is serious about the deal, they should allow you to do so. Check for any bends or cracks, especially on the inner lip and barrel.

Your TPMS sensors should fit right onto the new wheels.

As for the specs, it all comes down to offset. Do you know what they are? The rear wheel/tire width is pretty aggressive. On stock suspension you should be fine, but you'll have issues once you lower the car, more so with the rear than the front. Plan on rolling your fenders before installing the coils.

What CL said! Also in the case the tpms sensors don't fit you can always make a tpms bomb and leave it in the trunk

Chances are your gonna have to run spacers and extended studs... Brembos are good brakes but hard to find a lot of wheels that will clear them... Just had this problem today but extended studs and 10mm spacers did the trick...
