Work VS-XX BBK Rim Clearance
Ok let's start from the top.
1. Which Stoptech are you referring to?
2. Do you happen to know if your VSXX's are A, R, O disk?
I will tell you that a 19x9.5 +15 R-Disk will not clear a Brembo/Akebono BBK w/o a spacer(3-5mm). Inner barrel clearance isn't going to be a problem with the 355mm(14 inch) rotor set up. The difference is going to be the physical caliper width and judging that VSXX's aren't intended to be racing wheels... they're not going to have the wheel backspacing required to run a BBK w/o a spacer.

Do you have 4-piston or 6-piston calipers? Do the VSXX's have a huge lip? R Disk's have the most backspacing but have less lip. So if it has a large lip it's safe to say they're more than likely O disks. I'm sure you can use a 10mm spacer and fit the VSXX's on with your set up thus bringing the overall wheel offset to +18. What size tires are on the wheels? So using my car as an example, I have +15 on oAkebono's with a 3mm spacer brining it to a +12 on an R-Disk.

The guy said the the front lip is about 1.5-2 inch. And I'm not sure if it 4 or 6 piston but my brakes do look bigger then my friend stock brembo one. And also I have on my car right now 19x9.5+22 te37 and it looks like it clear it just fine and i had on before the stock 19 g35 wheels

Just post a pic of the brakes so we can discern which one's you have either way... you can do the VSXX + BBK set up if you use spacers, otherwise your SOL.

ST40 or 45's... Which for the most part are similar.
Alcon's/Greddy are narrow too... My Akebono's are almost the same width (+/-1.5mm) as the OEM Brembo's. What was he running in the front?
19x10 -3
19x11 +0 (I think it is now -3 but he will confirm)
