Anyone with 19" Volk SF Winning on a 03-06 Sedan?

I tried searching but gave up after a while. Wanting to know if anyone has this wheel on a sedan setup in 19's with proper offsets. Some pics would really really help I'm toying with the idea of upgrading my Dad's sedan from 18's to 19's. Would anyone recommend running 19X8.5 with 245/40/19 all around? Or 19X8.5F and 19X9.5R with 245/40/19 and 275/35/19?

Those look just like my VS-XX. Im running 19 x 8.5 + 37 (5 mm spacer) on 245/40/19 PS2's. I think the staggered setup would look better but I wanted to be conservative so I could rotate tires easily.

Wow those look good. Yeah I think the SF Winning and VS-XX look almost identical. Both wheels look great on sedans IMO. Dad's got a black sedan and I was thinking of silver wheels (which he also currently has on right now). The only thing is that we don't want to roll the fenders for too aggressive fitment. So, wondering if staggered is still an option.

Clint, what size lips do you have with your VS-XX setup?

If he doesn't drive a lot of miles/year and if money isn't an issue, go staggered. If he does drive a lot & wants to be able to rotate the tires from front to back, then I highly recommend 245/40/19's all around (that's what I have)....Toyo T1-R's....great pricing compared to others and very good tire.

Thanks Jimmy. I'm still debating. He doesn't drive that much per year. The other thing is trying to find out whether or not a staggered setup requires rolling of the fenders. And whether or not the driving feel will be significantly different. I'm used to running the 245/275 staggered on my coupe and I personally like the feel, but then again all coupes are staggered to begin with. I've seen a few sedan owners with the staggered setups but it's not as common. So I'm trying to get some feedback on their fitment (whether needing to roll fenders) and driving feel.

I'm pretty sure if you get the right offset you won't need to roll the rear fenders at all, you should read up on it first of course. Sorry, didn't know you drive a coupe, so you knew what I told you already!

If the car is still at stock height you can go with the following specs and not have to roll your fenders...

19x8.5 +35 245/40 up front
19x9.5 +45 275/35 in back.

His sedan is lowered on my OEM Coupe Suspension. I think it's somewhere between 1/2" to 3/4" lower than stock sedan. So it's marginally lower. Will that still work without rubbing?
