Work vs-xx and 2011 front bumper installed.

Took a while but finally installed my work vsxx and aimed for flush fitment. Thanks to custom spacers i was able to clear my bbk . Stretched tires and dropped it a bit. As for my front bumper, swapped my S to 2011 bumper and finally got my hid fogs to work. Let me know what you think.

Here are fitments. Much trial and error was involved, but it was well worth it.

Work-Vsxx
19 x 9.5--R-disk +28 (+5 spacer= +23offset) ~19 x 10.5--O-disk +29 (+8 spacer= +21)

Tires Falken 452

Front 235/35 19 Rear 265/30 19

In order to clear my Akebono calipers, I had to use spacers. Front was a +5 spacer. For the rear, I had some custom hub centric ones made +8.
Got some Ichiba 50mm extended studs to make up for he lost thread in the rear. Tried to do it the right way as much as possible.

Well the rear wheel is 10.5 on a 265/30 tire. I didnt want any rubbing issues. I scrape and slam on speed bumps sometimes. Never been this low.

If you stretched why did you leave the front of your car so high? Makes the wheels look tiny

I agree, needs more low and the aero side skirts to match.

Yeah, it does. I need to mess around with the height. Heard stock front is 1 inch higher than the rear.

Like the looks !! A drop will fix it, otherwise that's a very clean and conservative setting. I agree to also be spoiled by the aggressive fitments of the vsxx on the g37.

Yeah hes def off and running! I was just looking at the last pic and even if he goes just a little lower to keep it manageable as a daily driver and let the wheels camber in a little it will be fire!!!
