Offset kings I need your help!!

So I finally found a set of Volk GTS that I want but the offset instead of being +17 front and +18 rear which is what I wanted its +14 front and +18 rear.... What do you think? Can I make this work?

Not an offset king, but here is my 2 cents....

I'm assuming this is a 9.5/10.5 setup. On a Coupe those offsets will fit no problem.

I had the same set up I needed my rear fenders rolled they fit nicely you won't make any of the trendy fitment sites but its correct fitment.

I am looking I have a bunch of pictures but they are on my other computer, I may have posted them so I will look a little harder.

^Nice, reasony ou had to roll though were 285's or if your camber is perfectly in spec. 9.5/10.5 +15 was the average setup a while ago and when ran with 245/275 i know the rears didn't rub. Again hard to say 100% w/o your camber settings as well.

I"m running +15 all around with 245/275 with about -2.4 in the rear and -2.6 in the front. No rub whatsoever.

Yes that was camber within OEM spec, and of course skinnier tires provide more clearance. Like Shane said 3mm is not very noticable ----> iii <----that is about 3mm.

I would give my input but im far from an offset king...

LOL. Anyhow, I have Volk GTS with +7 on 9.5" front and +3 on 10.5" rear ...245/35 & 275/35. Fronts don't rub, rears only rub when I hit a big dip or I have to angle on a steep driveway. -2.7 camber front -2.8 rear. Rears rolled flat, fronts are not.

The +14 is their Type B disc. So if you're planning on going with a BBK, you MIGHT need to use spacers to clear.

I was told with +14 BBK wouldn't be an issue.

offset doesn't matter, it's the disc/pad height that determines BBK clearance.
