So is your arm currently at the stock location or do you have some positive camber adjustment dialed into the SPC's? I think he was at -2.8 with the stock arms, and then adjusted them to get back within spec. With stock arms you are probably in the -3.5 range.

i'm as positive as i can get with these arms.

ideally, i'd be happy with -2.0 all around (though i'd prefer the prior mentioned specs). but right now, i can't justify spending an extra 5 bills to get +1.0 degree more.

so as far as spacers go, i'll look into them and get some when i can afford them.

i've got other things on my mind to purchase.

the offsets may be "average," but the lips aren't.

i rarely see 3" [tue] lips in the front.

even if 3" lips are common on this site, they're not common on a 9.5 vs-xx wheel (not on this site at least) as i'm the only person on this site with 9.5/10.5 +24 all around.

the majority of people with vs-xx are running [Front] 19x9.5 Offset: +28(R) , [Rear] 19x10.5 Offset: +29(O)

alvin, i believe, is running like a +17 or something up front...but the lips aren't 3"

even shawn, with 20" vs-xx, doesn't have a 3" lip in the front (doesn't look like it from the pics, at least).

If you want to talk about lip size, U DO NOT even come close to the over 4 in front and over 5 in rear that ROBZONE is going to be running not to mention his +13 and +6 offsets. HOTTNESS!

Just an FYI

my offsets don't require spacers in the front to clear my [puny] stock calipers.

i also don't have to run stretch tires (not my taste at all). i give him props for running such an aggressive setup, tho.

Notice he said on vs-xx's. The reason most people's lips are small on the vs-xx's is because the spokes are straight, they are true big lips because the spokes don't curve in towards the edges like on your gt-7's. Your 3.5" lip is also measured inbetween your spokes since the volks recess into those areas, while a true lip does not. Not really the same comparison anymore is it?

Calvin,
I am interested in how you got +24 offset front and rear since they aren't listed on the work spec sheet. I'm guessin you are running an a-disk up front, and a 0 disk in the rear? A 9.5(A) +32 has a 3" lip already, so if yours are indeed +24, then your lip must be bigger than 3", and a 19x10.5(o) +29 has a 4" lip, again your lip should be larger.
