Offsets for Work VS-XX 19"

03 with Brembos
I wanted to go 9.5f and 10.5r, but I want a more aggressive rear
I know +28 for the front, and rear, but like I said I want a wider lip for the rear.
suggestions please

edit: here is the WORK chart

i just need to know how wide I can go safely

+28 may not fit you, I just ordered same setup from F1 and I have a 05 6MT Coupe and the lowest offset that will clear my calipers (05 Calipers bigger than pre 05) is +32F and +29R. With that Offset i will be getting 3 inch Front and 4 inch Rear Lip. But you have the Brembo.
Call him he seem to know his stuff, plus he said with the same setup if I'm going with a SF Winnings, i'll need +19 so basically he said it's the design of the wheel that dictates the offset you'll need.

Edit: Plus I had another vendor email Japan Work to confirm it, and Japan Work said +29F will clear my caliper by .7mm and Work said it should be 1 - 3mm and +28 Rear will not fit and will be short of 2.7mm to clear the caliper. And this is a non-Brembo spec.

Also Chris from F1 that with a Brembo and VSXX you'll need a spacer no matter what offset. but someone from here said that we dont so go figure.

Thank you for your input
I do know that it is the design, I asked because I know a good number of people are running these wheels or planning to run these wheels.
This is such a popular setup, I just wanted to see what other guys, with these wheel and same sizes are running.

thus brings about the reason i started this thread lol
there is so much mixed information concerning this stuff
i mean, i just read a post where a guy said he was getting the work vs-xx with a +17 in the rear and +19 in the front.
someone told THAT individual that they would clear the brembos

I believe we can get that but Chris said that I'm going to need to roll my fenders if I go below +32F and +29R. Also with this i'll be getting 3" Front and 4" Rear Lip which is big already.

Edit. He also said that a +29 on a VSXX has a bigger lip than a +19 SF winnings. so It's the design of the wheel that dictate the lip too... I'm just saying what he said to me.

you need a 5mm spacer to clear work vs-xx. id go with +17 rear and +19 front ..thats the offset im on right now and its very aggressive but it looks sweet its really flush with the fenders ..dont know if thats what your going for.check my pic to get an idea of what the offset looks like:

But that's not a VSXX Like Chris said, we can slap a +19 on the SF winnings with out rolling the fenders but on VSXX +29 will be the equivalent

thanks! kvon if you want aggressive you should def go with +19 front and +17 rear. just dont run 285/45 in the rear cause you'll need to roll the fenders.
