Question on Volks Rims....

Hi,
I am looking to buy a set of Volk LE37T
19 9.5 +22
19 10.5 +22
I am wondering do I need spacers to fit those rims??

Also can I fit 235/3519F and 265/30R19R T1R tires on them??
Thanks...

I have the exact same setup. No you do not need spacers. The offsets are already quite aggressive. They clear my Brembos no problem. I went with the most common 245/35 front and 275/35 rear tire sizing. I recommend this sizing over yours, as the overall diameter of your proposed sizing will be smaller than stock, and would also throw the speedo calibration off. Hope you can still find a set of LE's since they are no longer in production.

^^^ I agree to go with wider tires rather than stretching them out (possible curb rash issues). Volk LE are sweeeet!!!

Thank you for every one's opinion....
The reason why I ask about those tires is because I bought a brand new set about 2 months ago...
So I am thinking about swapping them onto the new wheels....

They are pretty close to being flush with the fenders. So fairly aggressive stance. Most guys are running 275 tires in the rear and the sidewalls are stretched. When dropping in mildly (i.e. Tein H-Techs), some have reported no rubbing issues. If any lower, then you might have to roll the rear fenders for added clearance. If left at stock height, you will not have any issues at all.

you will definitely have to roll the fenders if youre dropped and have 255/285 with those offsets

i'm only dropped on z h techs with 285 10.5 +23 in the rear and i had to shave mine

I'm running 255/35 in the front and 275/35 T1Rs on the rear on z h techs. It fits perfectly with no rolling. You might want to check with Status on the marketplace. They still have some LE37Ts in stock.

Would this offset clear a 6spot BBK?
Thx
