I decided to go with the Volk GT-V. They were the newer design so I figured I'd try them out.

They'd be right at the top of my list.
You get the sizing sorted out?
face A, B or C & offsets

Alan, The offset is no mystery bro, it's the difference between the centerline of the wheel compared to the similar line across the mating surface inside the wheel where it actually mates up to the hub, and is quoted in millimeters.
On our G's as in most rides, this offset is a positive one.
This number should be cast on the inside of each wheel as just a whole number without 'mm'.
In the owners manual you'll find the OEM specs for each ride in the wheel spec. chart., and from what I understand should be as close as possible when replacing wheels.
....So you need to check the wheels you want to use to replace the OEM's.
G/L and call if I can help any more.

I got 19x9.5 +17 & 19x10.5 +24
I'm thinking of running 285's in the rear but I might have to roll my fender.

Point in case, my wheels are 20x8.5 +35. According to that chart I should be outside the fender line, but in fact I am 1/4" inside the lip of the fender in the rear and about 3/4" in the front.
The inside measurements are more accurate though.

I really wanted to go 20" but they were getting pretty heavy. Maybe when I'm pushing more power.
That's the next project.
