Should i go for a more aggressive wheel?
I ordered a set of work vs-xx in gold....19x9.5 +23 and 19x11 +29 just recently. Lately on the forums I been seeing all of these threads with reallly aggressive offsets and its making me want to go more aggressive!!! (dam u guys). But I was wondering how much more of an aggressive offset could I go with a tanabe gf210 drop and rolled fenders. I don't want to mess with camber arms or none of that but I really dig huge lips. Can u guys give me some feedback on what will be a good set up? My vendor says it takes about 2 months for the wheels to come in so hopefully I can change my order if I get some good feedback.

I don't see a 9.5+23 or 11+29 setup on the vx-xx application sheet. There are some questions you have to answer before we can recommend a good setup. Do you need to clear a BBK? How much negative camber are you willing to runn front and rear? How much of a roll/pull are you willing to do? What sized tires are you wanting to run, and are you willing to stretch tires to fit big wheels?

If you go with 19x11+24 you can get a 5" lip for sure. I know Rick sells VS-XX with the 19x11" setup and you can fit a coke can in there so definitely is 5" and +24 on an 11" rear is plenty aggressive if you got your fenders rolled already. My drop is similar to yours and you can see the +17 fits no problem! I rubs only in REALLY REALLY deep dips in freeway speed. So it's definitely not a daily issue and when it did rub it didn't cut the fender or damage anything.

As for the order I am not too sure, last time when I got the order placed by Rick he sent it directly there and the work started pretty much immediately. After that 2 months from the day the order was made I got my wheels from Rick so technically it only took them 7 weeks to make it and 1 week to get tires mounted and shipped to my door steps. You should call the shop immediately and ask if you can change the specification on the wheels.

After talking to redlude we are both convinced that a 19x10 and a 19x11.5 Meister S1 would work, it would be 19x11.5+23 O disk in the back as oppose to mine 19+11+17. We would keep the same lip and outer piece but extends the inner half by .5"! That would be soooo sick!
Thanks for the compliment bro but I definitely have to thank Hai (redlude97) for pushing me to get the lower offsets and it was worth the wait! I definitely think the 19x9.5 +23 is perfectly fine. That's what I have right now and I love it. I prefer the front not to have massive lipage because I like how it's moderate and makes the back look even nicer. If you have a huge front lip it makes the back lip not look so big.

they told me its on the O disk...ill prob try the offset ur talkin about..from wat i hear from alvin u kno ur stuff! and ill mention the A disk to them for the fronts.
can u give me a calculation of the lip size ill b lookin at?
19x9.5 +19 A disk
19x11 +23 O disk
for the offset i posted earlier...he said i should have a 3.3" lip in front and 4.3" in rear

hey guys...jus got off the phone with ravspec...turns out these were the specs i was gettin
19x9.5 +25
19x11 +23
but he then told me i was only gonna get a 3.8" lip not a 4.3" lip cuz he read the application wrong...so i asked him to change the order to 19x11 +17 in rear and then i can get the 4.3" lip but hes gotta call work and see if they have started workin on the order yet. *cross fingers*

I think he had the offsets backwards. If you were to run an Odisk front and rear, then there is a 19x9.5+29 with a 87mm(3.3-3.4") lip, and 19x11+23(4.3-4.4") lip. The fronts are really conservative though, and I would run an A-disk instead with the same sized lip, which is the 19x9.5+19A disk which I recommend previously. That has the same 87mm lip, but allows for more brake clearance as well as making the wheel flusher. Unfortunetly you can't go to a wider lip unless you want to get significantly more aggressive(19x11+10). But at least with this new setup it will be flush with the wheel wells.
