New setup question

Considering going to Volk GT30 19x9.5 +5 (C-disk) and 19x10.5 +8 (B-disk). I currently running OEM 19s with 20mm and 25mm spacers and lowered on 350Z H-Tech. Would i have any rubbing issues? Trying not to have to roll fenders.

with those offsets your gonna have to roll your fenders.


I suggest stick to 245/275

give some negative camber and you might get away without rubbing

what about with a +14 F and +17 R offset? I want them to be as flush as possible w/o spacers.

to sit flush as possible you'll have to roll fenders.

if you want a semi flush where you dont have to roll fenders. I suggest

19's

8.5F
9.5R
245/275
18-22 offsets

most common here with fenders rolled
9.5F 10.5R
245/275
10-18 offsets or higher offset like 20-28 to sit semi flush without fenders rolled.

these are are just estimates of offsets you can go work with, without getting to technical.

Thanks for all the help. Based on the spec sheet i do not see offsets in those measurements for 8.5/9.5 combo but you said they were estimates so cool. (http://www.rayswheels.co.jp/cgi-bin/...modelName=GT30)

After some more thought and searching around i'm prepared to roll fenders but not flare since i really want the 9.5/10.5 combo. So i'm leaning towards +17 +18 offset???
Would i have a problem with BBK if i choose to add them in the future?

Thanks again for all the help...

good selection of offsets along with wheel widths.


if you wanted to go more aggressive you could just run more negative camber with lower offsets or add spacers, if you wish.

as for bbk, you sholdnt have any problems unless your wheel design is caved in and prevents you, but dont think that will happen.

also,
if you find wheels that you like and the offset is higher. Other option tires size is 255/285 tires or wider
