there is no rubbing in the front
rear fender is cut

if you dont want to mod your fenders you gotta go with higher offsets but then you wouldn't get any lippage

here are the pics i took 10 minutes ago
sorry about the quality apparently photography isn't 1 of my skillz


















ARC!!!



HKS RS!!!

Just keep one thing in mind bro. If you go aggressive for max lippage (like Calvin), you can rule out getting a BBK. So if you ever want a BBK, you can't go that aggressive. I am eventually going to get a BBK on the front for sure. I'm not sure about the rears though because my drag radials won't fit with a BBK on the back.

yea those are the lip sizes

the front +28 will fit most BBKs out there
the stock brembo requires a 3mm spacer
i've seen many people with rear BBKs on +17 but you would have to check with a vendor to be sure

front 255/35/19 toyo t1r
rear 285/35/19 toyo t1r switching to 275/35/19 soon

i like the beefy look but at the same time i want a lower drop and dont want to swtich to the 30 series tire.

bump. if anyone knows off the top of their mind... do VS-XX's offer a chrome or polished lip? Also, if anyone has any pics to show the difference

I would appreciate it (they both look the same to me).

Also, what would you guys recommend, a 10.5 rear or 11"? Im almost set on the 10.5 because I know the offset I want,

but an 11" sounds so tempting.

They are polished with a clear anodized coating. The difference between chrome and polished is the chrome is going to shine a little bit more, pictures won't really pick it up though

11" is easy to fit, if you look at the vs-xx offset sheet PDF, you can get to 11" by simply changing the inner barrel piece with a piece 1/2" wider. You effectively don't change the outer position of the wheel, only how far the wheel extends into the fenderwell.

Alright I just placed my order for the wheels! 19 x 9.5 F and 19 x 11 R.

They're gonna be wrapped in Falken 452's 245/35 and 285/35. I forgot the offsets though through all the excitement. lol. new thread to come when the wheels are on with the drop.

Good choices except I would run a 255/35/19 in the front instead
