Volk GT-7 19" offset question

Am going to be ordering some diamond black 19's for my DG coupe within the next day or so and was wondering what offset I should get for the front wheels. Rears I'm set on 19x10.5+24. For the fronts I notice a lot of people running 19x9.5+30's. Now my question is, could I go more aggressive on the front offset and not have to modify anything on my car? I don't want any rubbing on full lock right/left, and don't want any rubbing due to suspension travel. I may lower the car in the future about an inch tops but for now it is stock. What are your suggestions and what tire size would you then run on the fronts? Thanks for the input guys!

why are you set on 10.5 +24?

and yes, you can go much more aggressive in the front. the front fenders are already rolled from the factory.

i'd go with 255/35 in the front.

I'm set on 10.5 +24 because I don't want to roll the rear fenders at all and I understand that is a safe bet. As far as fronts, what offset would you then recommend?

+15! Like Calvin said, fronts are already rolled, so u'll be fine. Just prepare to drive with a bit of camber.

Depending on your drop, a 10.5 +24 will still rub even if you dont go with the wider 285/35 tire over the 275/35.

As far as the fronts go, you can do as much as a 9.5 +9 with a 245/35 tire and slam the car and you still wont rub even with the wheel at full lock

Let me know what the car is dropped on and how much camber you have and i can be of further assistance to you.

+1 I had to cut my fenders and my wheels are 10.5 +25 with 285/35 tires in the rear.

So far I'm riding stock height. Was planning on installing some springs(probably eibach pro kit) with a max drop of 1.1" front and 1" rear.

So from this thread, is it safe to assume that a 19x10 +22 will fit all around without having to roll fenders, running 255/35? Car has about a 1.5" drop on tanabe coilovers...

dang i forgot what zackt69 is running .. but for tires i believe he is running 245/35 and 275/35

just take it this way .. go aggressive .. and if the wheels dont fit where your camber specs are at .. you go smaller tire and more negative camber .. then a rear fender roll .. and your ready to roll

I guess my only options for fronts are 19x9.5+30 or 19x9.5+17. I'm thinkin +17 and run 245/35's. I should be fine right??
