i was looking at Works VS-XX. i will have 13.1in brembo big brakes in the front and stock rear brakes. and i also plan to get tein CS. does anyone know what offset and width i can run if i get 19in wheels? i would like the most lip possible. i would like to avoid fender mods at the same time.


Thanks guys!

offset and width is not the biggest problem. you need to make sure you get high disk setup for the front, that will make sure you clear bbk.

you can look into my fitment guide in the tire/wheels forum to know what widths and offsets are good for your needs

ok. i've been looking at http://www.lgwnorcal.com/articles/WheelFitment.shtml and i like the 19x9 +38 and 19x10 +42

the problem now is i still need to find out how to get high disk setup , and if brembo bbk will clear the size above

Check with the wheel shop or manufacturer. Are you buying the Work wheels used or new?

Work has different disk fitment.


You want the R-disk.

new. i am trying to get it from the group buy. i e-mailed derrick from D2 AutoSports and he said it will clear bbk.

oh as long as you tell him you have bbk that should be fine, he should be getting high disk for you

is there anything i need to worry abouut if i run 19 in the front and 20's in the rear. or if i run 18" front and 20" rears?

I personally would stay away from this setup. There are two things you can do with different size rims. Get tires with similar sidewalls so the look will match or get different sidewalls to get the outside diameters to match. I think the latter would just look terrible with the fronts having more sidewall than the rear.

If you do the former, than the diameters will not match. Our GS are not setup for running wheels with different diameters. Cars (like the vettes for example) that have staggered wheel sizes/diameter are calibrated to work with these different diameters.

There have been previous discussions on this and things like wheel rotation being different, doing weird things to the odo, speedo, abs, brake sensors, ...

All in all, I would avoid it. Just my .02.

Hey Shane, as I said in the email, just specify exactly what bbk you have and we can have them built to clear.

Have a good one.
