[Volk SF-Challenge] people please respond, aggressive offset question

according to this chart.



to get the most amount of lip, is it possible to run 19x9.5 -11F and 19x10.5 -9R on a g35 coupe? I have never seen any member on here with those offsets. I just see the common +28F and +23R. Was wondering if these offsets would work?

And if i plan on getting a BBK later will i be able to fit them?

Would it physically be possible? Yes, with lots of camber and stretched tires. It will clear bbk's

so you suggest sticking with the typical offsets of +28F and +23R then? I may want to run 6/4pot BBK down the line. So I just want to make sure the offsets I get them in will work while at the same time having as wide of a lip as possible.

yes it will fit, and not with TOO much camber, about -2.5 F -3 rear.

Also FYI your front disk will be lower than your rear, IMO will kinda look funny, i'd suggest maybe -9 rear and -3 front!!!

The setups he mentions the rear will have a higher disk than the front(Usually it's the opposite, Low rear/standard or high front). The face of the front will be closer to the calipers than the rear...might look a lil off imo. Get it now?

Take a look at that chart again bud
19x9.5-11 uses a high disk in front with a 106mm lip
19x10.5-9 uses a mid disk in the rear with a 125mm lip

redlude so is my setup okay? will it work with 245/35/19 F and 275/35/19 R tires? I just want a nice wide lip... without going throught too much trouble. Like worrying about too much camber or not being able to fit a BBK later, etc.

If you want aggressive and huge lip size, you WILL have to worry about camber & stretch...of course that is all dependant on your drop as well.

Depends on how much camber you are willing to run. With those sized tires you will need to run excessive camber to get them to fit. You are much better off stretching 225/40/19 and 245/40/19 tires on there and running less camber. Its the sacrifice you have to be willing to make to run an aggressive setup. If you want a semi aggressive setup that will let you run 245/275 without too much camber, then go with 19x9.5+3 and 19x10.5+11, that will get you more lip than the normal challenges you see people running, and still allow you to run a decent sized tire

well i'm dropped on tein s-techs with an ings+1 kit all around... so that will give you an idea. I've never actually seen a setup other than +28F +23R for volk chhallenges on a g35coupe before. Does anyone have setups with offsets other than those running challenges on a g35 coupe? I would like to see pictures if possible.

It will work with alot of neg camber and very stretched tires. I'd say go with the 19x9.5 +3 / 19x10.5 +11. That will already require some camber and mild stretch. You can run small spacers in the rear with it if you decide to.

sounds like more trouble then its worth. I guess i should just stick to the +28F and +23F that seems popular for these wheels.

19x9.5+15 and 19x10.5+11 will fit with 245/35/19 and 275/35/19 and a fender roll in the rear without any problems. You can run normal camber as well.

redlude really? if so how come not a lot of people are running those offsets? I'm sure a lot of people prefer wider lips.
