I have exhaust already, but still debating if I want to install them, kind of like how it drives around with no noise at all. LOL
Car looks great there!!

I loves the silent operation too, I had enough loud cars

Looks awesome Andy I wouldn't bother with the exhaust - the LS is beautifully silent when driving - I wouldn't give that up for anything...

I am waiting for my kit! I ordered 4/2, and still don't have them yet.
I have some parts in the garage ready to install, but wanna wait till I put the kit on.

Nice looking 430 Black. Unfortunately for me, the only thing I know how to do to a car is drive it.

I don't know the offset on the wheels, VIP doesn't release offsets.
but the rear fender needs to at least shaved to fit them, even with 255 tires.

When you ordered the wheels didn't you ask for specific offsets? Even if they are premade wheels every wheel company will give you the offsets. It should be on your actual wheel. If you call them up , they should give it to you.

I bought them from CL member JR.
I didn't bought them new, so I don't know the offset.
They fit good and aggressive, so I don't bother to call VIP to get offsets either.

Ok that makes sense then, let me see what I can dig up then. Thanks.

FYI: VIP modular custom makes the wheel to whatever offset you tell them to. So whoever sold u the wheel does know the offset.
