265/295 on Volk GT-S 9.5/10.5 -- Help with fitment
The wheels:
Volk GT-S
F-19x9.5 +17
R-19.10.5 +18
The tires:
F-265/30/19
R-295/30/19
I'm dropped on 350z S-techs, and I'm thinking of picking these up. I know I'll have to get the fenders rolled, but will it be cool besides that? Also, how will this affect my current ride (aka, suspension, turning radius, acceleration/speed, etc etc..). Any help would be appreciated here, thanks!

the s techs dont drop it much(IMO) and you should fit fine with rolled fenders.. rims are lighter than stock(size for size) but since these are bigger and forged, weights likely to be a wash so acceleration should be the same. Turning radius changes are neglible and handling should improve since you will have a lower center of gravity.

Well reason I asked is because I'm rollin' on 245/35/19 and 245/40/19 on the OEM 19s right now. Those are relatively light as is. Plus, factory front is 225, and jumping to 265 is quite a bit, so I figured it would cut down the turning radius some. Also, I wasn't sure if the 295s in the rear would be too much meat, therefore slowing me down.
edit: apparently tire size doesn't really affect turning radius much...
