Offset question HELP!

I'm going to be picking up a set of Volk TE37s soon. There are two offsets from which I have to choose and I'm not sure which would be best for my G.

The first set is F19x8.5 +29 R19x9.5 +34.

The second set is F19x8.5 +22 R19x9.5 +22.

The guy selling them says that the +22 all around might rub, but I'm pretty sure I have seen people running +22 all around. Can anyone offer any advice?

Thanks,

Makochan

Re: Offset question HELP!

If it were me, I'd take the +29mm and +34mm offset. Safer bet on the car, and you wont kick up crap all over the side of the car. They will sit out further than the stock wheels do.

I'm guessing this is for a coupe without Brembos? Need more info to make the call.

I have 19x8.5 +21, 19x9.5 +23 on mine and the fronts barely clear the Brembos. I've had several people tell me they look like they were made specifically to fit my car.

Re: Offset question HELP!

I guess it depends on the wheel. I have Nismos, +25mm front and +30 mm rear. Clears the Brembos with plenty of room to spare. I can fit my hand between the spokes and the front brakes. BTW, IMO, the Nismo Offset is just about perfect.
