Volk GTS/Challenge offset/lipsize comparison
Here's the chart for the GTS
Here's the chart for the SF-Challenge
Which lips would be bigger... when comparing the volk gts in a 19x9.5 +17 / 19x10.5 +28 (Yes I mean +28 and not +18) to the volk sf-challenge at 19x9.5 +28 / 19x10.5 +23?
If I am not mistaken by reading those 2 charts, it looks like the rear lip on the challenges is the same size as the front lip on the gts. Which is 94mm (3.7inches)

what if i add a 10mm spacer, then will it be the same flushness as if i were to have gotten the +18 offset instead? i know the lip will be slightly smaller, but as far as flushness it should be the same?
i guess it's a matter of preference... ive seen a lot of setups on here with the tucked look as well...

i guess it's because i don't want anything too aggresive looking? I don't really like the look of the tire+rim sticking out of the fender. I either like it flushed or sit a little bit in from the fender. I'm not going for the crazy extreme aggressive look i don't think. I am still in the process of deciding.
Will you be able to fit a BBK on the rears with a +28 offset?

Given same specs, the GT-S will always have a bigger lip. Hopefully your decision is based on more than just lip size, though. Having owned several sets of both wheels, I love them both in different ways.
If you're buying the GTS, go with +17/+18 (unless you're custom ordering, then go more aggressive). If buying the SF-Challenge, go with +21/+23 (again, unless custom ordering).

triplesol, if you were to go aggressive with the gts and challenges and get them custom ordered, what offset would you go with your g35 coupe?
i like aggressive too, its growing on me the more i look at it, but am too afraid of getting offsets that most people on here aren't using. i just want to be on the safe side by sticking to the most common offsets that everyone's using.
