Keep in mind that these won't fit our stock wheels. They only fit wheels with center cap size outside diameter: 60mm/ Inside diameter: 57mm.

quick question, why are you going a bit conservative with the wheel sizes? Is it limited due to the supplier brand or is it a clearance issue? Especially in the rear, enough room for a 285/30/19 rear and 255/35/19 front? Thanks.
Please let us know how much room you have between inner wheel lip and shocks when you have them installed, looking to gather some data and place an order with something similar. Thanks again.

It's what WORK has on their wheel specifications for the VS-XX. See here: http://www.workwheelsusa.com/media/w...5/VSXX_PDF.pdf
I actually didn't think it was very conservative, especially for the rear. I could've gone with 19x9.5 or 19x9 with a larger offset if I wanted to be more conservative.
As for the tires, most seems to agree that 275 will fit fine or snuggly in the rear. Only a few have 285s and they're getting by with no rubbing, whereas others who run 285s reported rubbing, IIRC. I chose 245/275 just so that I won't have any rubbing issues. Maybe 285 would fit, but I didn't want to risk it. I will make sure to let you guys know about tire and fender clearance once they're mounted.

If you have roughly 2mm of clearance in the rear, don't even sweat it being close, usually brakes do not expend that much especially in the rear, thanks again the for the reply, I am looking at some other models of wheels.

very sexy wheels and WORKS are very light compared to HRE but the only drawback is that you need to wait for 3 months to get them in.

You, sir, have great taste. 
My favorite WORK wheel (with possible exception of REZAX).
Had these on my M, and they were fantastic:
Can't wait to see what they look like when they're on!

Great looking wheels! Can't wait to see them mounted up with tires. I thought about the 285 cross section and I asked Josh and he basically told me not to do it if I am not widening the quarter panels. My rears are 10" wide et 50.

Well, after a trip to the tire shop today to get the tires mounted, it was discovered that the wheels (as they came) are NOT compatible with the TPMS that I bought.
The hole drilled through the barrel of the rim is 90 degrees from the hole where the valve stems would come out on the face of the wheel. After calling around to 3-4 different ppl, I discovered that WORK wheels don't drill holes compatible for TPMS unless specifically requested by the customer (TPMS is not required in Japan). I thought I had mentioned that when I put in my order, but being that it was 6 months ago, I can't recall precisely. 
Anyway, I had to order a set of 90-degree or L-shaped TPMS adapters and reschedule another visit to the tire shop for next Tuesday.
Here's the product I ordered from WORK.

Iforged also sells them too, for those of you who are looking to get Iforged wheels.
I thought I should share that with you guys in case your wheels aren't drilled accurately to fit TPMS.

The wheels look hot but I would install at least 5 millimeter H&R wheel spacers for better caliaper clearance.

Love the wheels - they're amazing. Great color choice - gunmetal rocks!
