thanks for the reply huys,

one question, are you guys on stock sespentions?

if you are not, what sespentions do you have on. and do you have any problems with the tyre rubbing with the fenders.

Thanks, that would be cool.

I dont understand why some of you are waiting anymore than 3 months to get your VOLK wheels. It should only take 3 month MAX to get them regardless of what color you order them in and there are a lot more colors available then what the public knows. Heres a pic of one of my customer/friend's G35 with Mercury Silver CE28's, 19x9.5 +22 19x10.5 +22. Dropped on Espelir Active GT springs for a 350Z.

When I ordered my wheels, there were none in the US, so it was going to be 30-90 days, but I was told I could order any offset I wanted. I calculated the perfect offset and ordered them... week or so later... Volk said I could get them, but it would be 10 months unless I ordered one of their standard offsets.

I ordered standard offsets... Volk came back and said those particular offsets were no longer made... +22 was most popular and suggested... I switched to +22 and it has been about three months.

i have hks rs coilovers with 350evo front camber arm and spc rear camber products. no rubbing issues if you stay with the stock brakes. i have the stoptech bbk and the hub on the rotor is a little thicker than stock so it pushed the wheel out a little...so after that...i had to roll the fenders. its fine now.

I'm lowered with Tein S.Tech (350z) springs. I also have 350evo front control arms and SPC rear camber arms and toe bolts.

I plan on putting 255/35/19 tires on the front and 285/35/19 on the rear. I am expecting to have to do some work on the rear fenders. That's why I originally spec'd the wheels with more offset to the inside.

The fronts should be fine, but the 285/30/19 is a full inch less diameter than the OEM 245/40/19 rear tire. I'd be worried about how it would affect the VDC or how it would look...

Will the spare tire still fit with your StopTech BBK?



Geez, that looks super!

Where did you get your brakes, if you don't mind me asking?

thanks for the comment! just from doing a visual test, i knew that the spare will not fit this new brake setup. so i took out the spare and left two stock wheels/tires in my room for quick transport from home to wherever im at.

i got the brakes from streetimage...a SoCal install shop...about a year and a half ago.
