Yeah, u got the A disk. U need T disk to clear the caliper.

abgyak 06-10-2011 10:01 PM

which means i need a new wheel for the fronts?

RavSpec 06-10-2011 10:12 PM

A few way, increase the offset by changing out the barrel, then use the spacers.

You need to be at +15 mm front then add the 10mm spacers to put ur offset at 5mm.

Or get the t disk face, to swap with th A disk face.

Did u find the wheel spec on the label yet ?

:eekdance:

Sucks to hear man... 10mm spacer would probably look and be less aggressive? Maybe a little more drop? Hope you can get it sorted out.

The offsets I was suggested by Rick were +15 front (9.5") and +10 rear (11") and was told that I'd have to run a small spacer on a "T" Disk.

So Rick responded, but not to my PMs but at the paypal dispute resolution centre quoting my words saying that im satisfied with the wheels...

I mentioned that i was satisfied with the wheels way back when the item just arrived.. I was satisfied with the condition of it, not with the instal.. When instal then this kind of problem arose... It looks like Rick dosent want to take care of this problem instead posted in the resolution centre stating that item arrived to me and i was satisfied with it.. Hmm i'll give rick few hours to respond to me, if not i think i need to make some actions...

Also installed camber kits and the fronts had to go to -3.2 and thats not what im looking for...

I tried contacting Rick, and has not replied my PMs since yesterday. The problem keeps on coming *sigh* :mad:

If I remember correctly you had a similar issue a year back right? did you order custom offsets so there would be no need of any spacer?

your camber is way off, I had Volks SF winning with +17 offsets in the front and only reason to change those was this much poking at the front.

Well I got a response about sending me the money I was owed.

I dunno if 20mm is just a small matter to you guys, but that 20mm difference was the reason why i go for custom wheels.... :ugh2:


Despite the excitement of your wheel arrival... the quote below the 1st says you were NOT happy with the offset! You and Rick talked about it too, that's why the 25mm spacers were supplied by him to offset the problem which it didn't.

Instead of jumping to conclusion saying "he's satisfied with the wheels," where's the follow up to make sure he really is satisfied?

*sigh* wish you luck abgyak in getting this resolved!

You mention that once a dispute is closed it can't be re-opened?
Since Rick said you're satisfied with the wheels... case closed?

abgyak=judging on your pictures, throw the 25mm spacers in back and camber it in, get the 10 mm spacers and camber the front to 1.8-2.0 degrees, i think i t will look good, only a suggestion though.

With 10mm spacers the wheel will scrape the brake calipers... today i tried using a 12mm custom spacers and cleared the calipers for merely 2-3mm but still with the 12mm spacers the wheels is still out of the fender... maybe about 5-10mm out.... the offset and/or the disk (as RavSpec mentioned) is just wrong...

Few hours back ive got a PM from Rick saying that he'll be sending some pics to work... hope i can get something out of it... *FRUSTRATED MODE*

What i was informed from Work, the VSXX design is an old design that does not clear the BBK on any offset... the best they can make is with a spacer of 5mm to clear the BBK and this setup is being used by one of the members (Keng) for which i referred to Rick to follow his setup... But sometime in March, Rick said something about having to change the disk on my VSXX as Work are running out of stock on the disk as used by Keng... but Rick informed me that with changing the disk, it will be just fine.. Here's what Rick said:

"I wanted them to make a T disk for the front to run a smaller spacer,but they were out and had to make the front with a A disk.Well the disk your not going to have to worry about it,cause we got spacer for it any way.So what we made is going t be just fine."

abgyak 06-11-2011 10:19 AM

So i found the reason why the fronts is making so much trouble... i went over to a wheel shop and asked them to measure the offset and the width of the front wheels... it shud've been 20x9.5 et+6 .. but after measuring it the results were 20x10 et+18 :confused::confused::confused::confused::confused: WT....

So its not only because of the A-Disk thats been the problem, but the width of the wheels and the offsets!!

RavSpec 06-11-2011 10:33 AM

Ouch ... Let me check if that spec exist.

Other than the width of the wheel, a 9.5"+6 will sit the same as a 10"+18 regarding offsets and brake clearance.

As for now a 12mm spacer is needed to clear the BBK.. but still even with the 12mm spacer is installed, the wheels will still be out of the fenders... For comparison:
