Ok so I got some a set of volk gts on order, 19x9.5 +30 in front and 19x10.5 +28 in the rear, but I'm still unsure of the size I can get away with. I ordered the wheels from Greg of Injected Performance and he assured me the offset will work fine.
He also recommended me to go with 245/35 in front and 275/35 in the rear but I was wondering if I could go wider without rubbing, just for some extra rim protection. Maybe 255/35 in front and 285/35 in the rear, i think that actually matches the OE diameter better but I'm worried that I'll be rubbing one something. It's going on a 05 coupe with stock suspension.
Any opinions?

 

the front is going to be okay. The rear may rub.

I had maya STM +29 on 285 and they rubbed. I had to roll the fender a lil. But it's definitely worth the safety. At least run 255 on the Front.

 

I would do a 285/30 in the rear to keep them closer to the same diameter so your VDC does not flip out.

 

wouldn't the 285/35 actually be closer to teh stock diameter?
Also can I use teh stock TPS and valve stem in the volks? I tried to search this but didn't come up with much

 

ttrank - 285/35 rear doesn't affect the VDC sensor at all.

Nelly, I think you can use the TPS, but requires a lil modification I last read. Contact the wheel vendor to see if they can help you.


Chris from F1Motorsports can help you with that. He's a great guy.

 

i got the same size wheels runnin 245/35 and 275/35 rear with about a 1.2ish drop and i had to get my fenders rolled, but it also depends on the tire, some are more cambell's chunky than others.

 

hey alphamatt, are you using the stock tps by any chance?

 

on stock suspension for a coupe.. 285/35 wont even come close to rubbing.. theres like a 2inch gap from the tire to the top of the fender with my 275/35/19

 

took the tpms out, i hated it anyway, whenever its coldand my tires depressurize it goes off and annoys the hell out of me.

 

unless you're slammed, 275/35 on a 10.5" wheel won't rub. the fronts will be fine.

 

hi. i think those offsets are quite on the conservative side... imho.

i have 255/40 front with 285/35 rear. when the car was slammed about 1.5" drop, the rear rubbed. i needed to roll/cut the fender lip.
