VS-XX will clear bbk if bought new because they are made custom, but if you want mesh go with LM's

Looks like it's going to come down to flipping a coin.

now I have the Supra BBk on my GS so I have to use my Work DH... I wish VS-XX can clear my BBK..
VS-XX will clear big brakes as long as your wheels have the high-disk profile.

i know this is of less help because i dont have the article with me. but in the new modified (the one with the gold suby on the front) there is a paphlet in the back from falken tires with their recomended wheel and tire fitment for normal and vip style and for many lexus specific aplications. sorry again for not having the actual #s for you but some one can look it up.

There is no set wheel/tire combos for normal and vip styled fitments, sizing can vary...

Tony, I would really like to see you fully Auto Couture'd out...try those Latives!!!! Hot stuff!

i understand that but it would be a nice guideline for some people. obviously taste changes as well but i found the fact that it was writen by falken tire would designate some level of credibility seeing as how thery are reputable and wouldnt send junk to everyone reading modified mag. so if you guys decide to look up what they wrote take it at face value
