Volks offset question!

Just bought some SF Winning Mercury silver finish 19 9.5 F and 19 10.5 R offsets: 19 F and 19 R. I havent come across anyone else running these offsets, how much of a difference does the +17 make in the rear compared to the +19?

Well, IMO I think +19 on the rears is better than +17. I have the same set as yours, except for +17 rears. The rear wheels stick out so much, they are much more than a flush look. No rubbing at all but a fender roll will make them look better.

No, I dont drop, Im running stock height so yea, that is why it is not rubbing. The driveway at my house is deep, so my car cant be in the garage if I drop the car.

+17 on a 10.5 inch wheel don't stick out past the fenders AT ALL.

I have a +17 offsets on my 10.5 rears.

The 19x10.5+19 has an 80mm lip while the 19x10.5+17 has a 92mm lip. The difference in lip size is 1/2"

You have your fenders rolled? I dont know how it looks on your car, but on my car, they are past the fenders and I'm running 275/35/19 tires. But that's ok, a fender roll will give it a nice look.

Really that much difference in lip size? that's nice. Well, then I'm happy with my set

The disk size is different. The 19x10.5+19 uses the same disk as the front 19x9.5.5+19 which is made to clear bbk's. Using it on the rear is kind of a waste as that much clearance isn't needed. As long as the OP is happy with his setup I guess its alright. Not something I would have ordered but whatever
