I'm thinking in the future that I would like bigger lips on the Work VSXX that I recently bought. How would I do this? As in how those this work?

Can I just buy a 19" Work VSXX 5" replacement lip and put it on my current rims? But what would it turn the specs of the rim into?

19x9.5 +29 i think 3" lip, WOuld like to make this an 4" or 4.5" lip
19x10.5 +28 4.5" or 4" lip, would like to make this 5" lip

I see VRwheels website that they sell replacement 19" Work VSXX lips..
Thanks!
Same as what we talked about before, split em a part (unbolt and remove silcione) then just bolt the new lips on and resilcone the seam.

19x9.5 +29 w/ 4" lip would be 19x10.5 +17
19x9.5 +29 with a 4.5" lip would be 19x11 +11

19x10.5 +28 (4" oem lip) adding one inch would be 19x11.5 +16
19x10.5 +28 (4.5" OEM lip) adding a half inch, would be 19x11 +22

As the drews said, that's a tiny spacer. You'd be better off with 20s and 25s.

Oh yea forgot to tell you blain, the reseal was a success! We did such a good job for first time doing it. The assembly bolts weren't a joke though lol such a pain in the a$$ lol. But all in all success, no more leaks!

Yeah should be early to mid october i come home!! Pretty excited about it

After i see how much lower i can get the megans to go in the rear after taking out one of the rings i'll see if i wanna get Stance's....fronts i can go lower still to get it perfect but the rears are maxed (right now at least) That splitter is somewhat stopping me from lowering the front though hahahah

I don't like any of the rears enough to get one...i love the stock rear with splashguards and will probably get the nismo diffuser to line it up right

I was lower with a Kuruma...which I guarantee was lower by itself than nismo and a splitter. I live in a low car's wet dream in south orange county tho. roads are flatter than flat. I wouldnt risk it if I had to pay full price on splitters. lol.

haha keep the 8mm spacers if you end up getting better rims in the future and wanna push them out...but for now going with a 25mm in the rear ad 20mm in the front will be fine...if anything you'd just need a slight roll in the rear....done deal
