VS-XX wont clear brembos!

I have a set of work VS-XX's 19x9.5 +28 with the R disc, and 10.5 Rear +29 with O disc

Has anyone who owns a set had trouble clearing the stock brembos in the back, mine hit. The front ones clear but only by about 1.5 mm and it looks like it might hit the suspension on the inside front.

Anyone had this problem and what size spacers did you use?

your offsets are high enough that you could run a 5mm or 10mm spacer to get more clearance, just make sure you use some with longer studs

Try some 5mm spacers. You can run those without changing your studs.

Well it's a wrap, therefore just add spacers & enjoy your new wheels.

dont really like the sound of having spacers on ur aftermarket wheels....
stock yes, but u spent around 4k on wheels so u shud've got wat u paid for.
i say return the rims. u have a good reason that wasn't ur fault.

Run a 10mm spacer front/rear with the longer studs. It'll look beter too.

thats who i got them from but he shipped me a set of free spacers, could it be because of my stoptech rotors? im not sure if the hat is thinner than a stock brembo rotor hat but its a possibility

Those offsets look a little high. My Work Rims are +25 in the front and +20 in the back.
