Can the sedan's achieve a pretty nice fat lip offset?

Im planning on getting the Volk GTS wheels in 19s. 19x9.5 f and 19x10.5 r. My question is; What is the suggested offset to get the most lip for this wheel on my G sedan? Also, will the rear wheel well be okay to fit a 10.5 in width wheel without scratching..spacers needed?

Would I be able to get TPMS sensors put in these wheels?

10.5" is going to be pushing it and will require a very high offset. I don't think you are going to fit 9.5's up front at all.

What are you trying to accomplish 275's on front and 295's on back? Your asking for problems IMHO. The Lamborghini Gallardo according to the tire rack has 8.5's 235/35-19 on front and 11 295/30-19 on the back.

I think it would look great, but fit, I doubt it.

hans127 - Nice choice. I've been researching this wheel since this past summer time. Also have been checking out the Maya MRS's

Photoshopped of course. They look somewhat similar to the GT-S'. In any event. I think I'm leaning towards the Volk's as well. The Volk Racing GTS wheels have many offsets. However, IMO, using these wheels for the sedan, I'd recommend the folling set-up:

(F) 19x8.5 - 245/35 +34mm
(R) 19x9.5 - 275/30 (or 35) +40mm

Not sure what kind of lip you will get with those. Here are some challenges.

kmuniz78,

Great job on the photoshop department! Looks better than Id hoped. What do you think of a 19x9 f and 19x10 r set up? Would our wheel wells be large enough to accommodate this size?
