Default Help: Works VS-XX (PICS)

Hey guys, sorry for starting a new thread. I one to always search but I'm new to the whole wheel game and my lack of vocabulary makes it hard to search.

My current setup is 19'' 8.5 +50; 9.5 +45 more. There is no real front lip, and the rear is 2.5'' give or take. I have these on my 2IS and fitment isn't as aggressive as I like. Is it possible to unbolt the lip via the rivets, and put my rear lip on my front wheel, and buy used VS-XX 3.5 lips and put them on the rear. Is it as easy just unbolting/bolting?

if im not mistaken the center parts or the face of the wheels are the same....so if you're unbolting the lip and putting it on the front center part, isnt that the same thing as just taking the two back wheels and simply putting them up front lol

That would make it so much easier.

Thats what I want to do. Is it just a matter of of loosening the rivets and moving the rear lips to the front, and putting the new bigger lips on the rear? Or is there welding and such?

contact andy mc3 or something like that on here.....he could probably supply you with new front and rear lips to make it a more aggressive fitment

Love the rear shot in pic #1. Did you custom paint your car? The color flows well with your set-up.
