Hello everyone. I'm new here and I've just ordered some Works VS-XX 20x10 rear, 20x8.5 front with JIC VIP coilovers. So what would this be considered as VIP or EXE/LUX?

does it really matter? Cause if you have your stance right the car is gonna look hot! Be sure to post pics when you have the parts on.

Jake

P.S. oh this car will probably look more EXE.

ahhhh... a very rare question people ask. The rears are +44 offset and the fronts are +38 offset. The offset on the M isn't that great. The biggest lip I can go without sticking the tire out is 3 inches. The face will be the Burning black and the M's color is Umbria Grey (looks brown sometimes and Grey other times). Below is my post on http://www.freshalloy.com and pics of a Lexus GS that has the exact same rims that will be on my car in May (arrival of the rims). Thanks for the comment.

the sizes seem OK.... you could have ordered a bit lower offset to push out the rim, make it fit better, and make the lips bigger! show us some pictures of your car, the color sounds interesting. your rim choice will work, but im not sure about the color, as i'm biased towards polished/brushed rims.

I told the palce where i bought the rims to make it flush with the fender. Do you think its not going to be flushed? I also told him to make is similar to GS in my previous post with pics.

it won't look as good as 'we' like it. haha, it will probably be fine, but it's just that if you buy rims that are a little bigger than what they feel is 'safe' then it will be 'flush' how we like it. meaning, you buy it poking out a bit, with bigger sizes, and then you lower the car, put more camber on it, and then it's 'perfect'.

It's all opinionated though, we all have our own versions of flush.
there's a member here, his name is dominik, he runs wheels that stick way out of the fenders, and then cambers them in so much that they look like a 45* angle. that's his version of flush. others, run rims a bit more conservative, while one other guy used to have a first gen q45, and was running some iirc 19x13 -20ish? offset rims and had a custom widebody put on there to make it all fit, and not look completely ridiculous.
it's all in your own view how you want it.
there's others on here, who buy rims, with stockish offsets, and when they put it on, the rims sink into the fenderwell and don't look any better than stock. and they ordered them this way! they actually waited 6-10 weeks to get these 'custom' rims.

conservative can still be pretty big, and still be daily drivable.
