Yeah with Meisters you seriously have to be flush or it looks so off. So make sure you know what it takes!

I will have 5-8mm poke so pretty much sitting flush. Would the Meister's O disk (deep wheel) fit up front or I have to go Standard Disk A? Need to clear front calipers.

Yes they are both played out, but i like the Meister a lot more i just hate that they didn't come with center caps. I have both on my 2IS here are some pics this might help....

it just depends on the specs and what faces you go with. which vsxx you going with? the reverse lip or step lip?

ive always had a soft spot for VSXX but they kind of run into the ground on the 2IS honestly. I would go S1. get the lowest disk face if you have a 250 since you wont have to worry about brake clearance. that will help maximize the lip the you want/can get

Ya, definitely take his advice. Really good if you have an is250 and want to utilize the amount of lip you can get! I honestly never knew the s1 never came with caps. Can you buy center caps and put them on or no?

I do want to maximize the step lip on the S1. So the deep lip disk should clear front brakes on a is350? What if I decide to change to brembo bbk down the road? If so, which disk would you recommend for clearance and to maximize the lip.
