Is there a significant difference between getting Volk GT-C's at 20 x 8.5 / 20 x 9.5 and 20 x 9.5 / 20 x 10.5 for my coupe?

I hate my car!

 

only in weight. i wouldn't say it's a significant weight difference, but they differ. hope this helps. as far as looks, i'd go with the second set up. if performance is a main concern, i'd hit up the first set up.

then again, when you are talkin 20's, you are not talkin performance...unless you're FI

Well I went with a 20x8.5 20x9.5 I had a 20x10 on order but after thinking about it why go with a 10 when Im going to have the same size lip in the rear(3.5) So I changed it. The tire will also fit better and give the rim more protection.

 

Thats reassuring. I ordered some 20 x 9.5/10.5 GT-C's from a friend. He takes my car puts my rims on and brings it back and they're actually 20 x 8.5/9.5. It was cheaper but I was just wondering if I was missing out on any extra lip size. I probably am though when it comes to a set up Volk's.

i would go with the 10.5s. it isnt that much more money and the rear lip is huge.

i kinda regret getting 8.5 /9.5

C this is what I dont get. Why do people think you have to have a 10.5 to have a big lip? My 9.5 rear has a 3.5

 

it depends on the offset of the rim, i know volk wheels the 10.5 have bigger lip most of the time.

Does anyone know exactly how much lip I've lost?

Do you have brembo's? If so 3.5 is the biggest lip you can have. Like I said before I have a 9.5 inch rear and a 3.5 lip.

 

Yup, I have brembo's. What's your offset on the rear wheels?

What size of tires you put on the 9.5?

Vortech supercharged / intercooler
Stillen front fascia bumper

 

Not sure of the offset. I guess some wheel makers like to keep that on the DL.
I have a 275/30/20 in the rear.

 

My so-called friend jacked that up to. He put 275/30/20.
