Thanks man. I'm hanging onto the VS sides for now because I have a Top Secret replica rear diffuser (from Shine) coming in a couple weeks and I'm not sure if that's going to look right with the stock sides. So once I get the diffuser up I might put the VS back on and see how it looks. Another option I'm kicking around is the Strosek side steps in carbon to add some CF continuity between the front lip and the diffuser.

^ yea I was trying to get them the first go around but it didn't work out.
I like the front fitment. Rear needs a 20mm which I will do till the tires wear down. Then I will go with 275/285 setup. And prob go with 245s up front vs the current 235s

Here is what I am talking about, specifically (and BTW these are Hankook V12's in 245/35/19), +12 net offset:
IMO 255/35 might be a better choice if you stick with the +12 offset without spacers. At least that's what I wish I would have done.

I did try briefly to wiggle it out but it seemed like it was pretty stuck in there so I gave up. I did take the screw out of it, but left the clip in place. Plus, if I bump the front wheels out another 5mm, I think I would need to do the same for the rears or else the front rim will be poking out noticeably more than the rear. Then my rears would end up with a 20mm spacer (+2 net offset) and would require more negative camber to fit without rubbing (see test-fit picture below with 5mm spacer stacked on the existing 15mm). Looks cool....but sorta-kinda-maybe-hella-unfunctional:
Plus, my ride height isn't actually that low, just compressed here to check fitment, so it wouldn't actually look that good.

My wheels are 10.5 +22 all around.
My front are slightly pulled from drifting. The screws and clips are removed on my front fenders. As for the rear. I have a ton of space cause on my 1st setup I had 11 -7 n the rear so the fenders are pulled some.
I'll test out the 245s up front later to see of they rub.
