A little off topic but what are your vs-xx's offsets?

What are the widths? Do you have close-up shots to show how flush? So used to seeing the vsxx w/full reverse lip...but the step lip gives it more depth. Really impressive, and glad they added the option.

I have 20x9 in front and 20x10.5 in the back. I agree with step lip these wheels look amazing. I also like the design of the lip on VS-XX, its very different from other ones I've seen, more like a 3-step lip.

Here is a pic of the side, not the best angle though

I bought them here on ClubLexus, one of the members was selling them.

Apologies if i've already asked, what size tires? Reason is they look pretty stretched. It's great to see that offset as it is what I'm considering (9"+32 and 10.5"+43), also in a step lip. Not going VSXX this time around, had 'em on my IS...thx for the info.

I'm running 235/35/20 in front and 275/30/20 rear. There is minor stretch, but it helps to clear fenders.

Which wheels are you getting?

235/35 fronts...interesting why you'd do that w/the narrower wheel. I would've thought the rear would be more of a concern. I was considering 235/35 and 265/30 to clear fenders but it seems hardly anyone is having issues w/the Tanabe/9+32-10.5+45/245/35-275/30 combination...so i might do that. I'm doing a Gnosis HS202 w/Bronze step lip and MDB Ctr; classic mesh ctr but the lip should give it a little 'pop'. We'll see. You figure out your ride issues?

Feeling better and better about what sizes to go with. Thanks. Surprised 285 isn't rubbing however, that size should square up the wheel nicely (probably too wide for SNiiP3R since he's sits lower).

I have AWD, overall rolling diameter has to be close or less than 0.3%. The difference between 235's and 275's is only 0.1%. I would have went with 245's, but then I would need 285's and that's a no no if you are getting springs instead of coils, then you'll be fine with those sizes.

I fixed the problem I was having. One of the dampening was left untouched. It was all the way down on soft.

Nice choice of wheels by the way, I like the bronze finish.

Yeah, the 285 would rub. Right now I can tuck my rear tires with zero issues. there is literally like ~3 millimeters gap between the tire and rear fender. With thicker tires I would have to pull the fender.
