Default Work VS-XX

Hey guys,

does anyone have a side shot picture of work vs-xx 19" on their gs? i searched around but couldnt find any good pictures. i ordered 19x8.5 (big caliber) in the frt and 19x10 (deep rim) in the rear. I told them i wanted a flush look and they gave me the offsets of +40 in the front and +48 in the rear. Is that gonna look flush or is it gonna sink in?

Thanks

How flush they look depends on how low you drop it and what size tires you're going to have on there

Here's my brother's car with VS-XX 19 x 8.5 + 40 (front) and 19 x 10.5 +42 (rear)


As you can see with the front, because of how low he has it, the wheel looks sunken in.

those are pretty conservative setup. will fit with no rubbing, but personally won't call them flush.

and keep in mind, depending on your definition of "flush" (just like how seize says), you might need to do a lot of work to make them fit
