I am planning to get some Volk GT-N's (gold) for my Infiniti G35 coupe (manual). i do not want to go to 19" wheels (added weight, gear ratio and speedo change). i was thinking of going 18x9 for the front and 18x10 in the rear. my question is, what offsets and tire widths would i need in order to NOT roll the fenders. i prefer to run 275/40/18 in the rear. i also plan to lower the car approx. 1in (tein basics). thanks for all your help!

n1cK!

 

anyone? i'll bump it before it gets to the 2nd page. i've done a search, but it doesn't look like anyone is running GT-N's. i just want to know if the +23 rear, +22 front will clear the brakes. i know that's what the offsets are for volk challenges (19in), but would it be the same for an 18in GT-N?

n1cK!

well u do understand that a 19 wont effect ur speedo if u went with a 35 series tire..... but if u want 18s then i would run 275/40/18 in the rear and then run a 245/45/18 in the front. that will only change ur speedo like .01% so basicaly nothing. You should not run into and trouble droping the car with those tire sizes. I dont know about the offestets though good luck with that.

Wow. finally someone with taste.

APC is my weapon of choice.
APC reeks of great taste.
APC is the greatest aftermarket company in the world!

 

taste? thanks, i jus' think they're really nice looking (plus they're light as hell, i mean they're volks). but, i do understand that a 19in wheel won't affect my speedo, only if i went with a 35 series tire. however, i don't really care to feel all the bumps on the road with a 35 series tire either. though volks are strong wheels, you may still run into the risk of bending the crap out of them with a 35 series tire if you hit the wrong bump at the wrong angle at the wrong speed. 40 series is the smallest i'll go. it's "comfy." so i would only be able to run an 18in wheel, which is fine with me. i have the tire calculator, too! the offsets are what's important though, i need enough to give clearance for the brakes (especially in the front), but i love that deep dish look!
