Please Help! I have a handful of questions

Can anybody tell which wheels these are?

Please Help! I have a handful of questions-image-1.jpg

fronts are 19x8.5 +22
rears are 19x10.5 +22

Well I am on my phone and the image is a bit small... but they look like Volk GT-F's in the picture.... or at least a similar design. When I get home and actually get on my computer I can take a better look at it.

As for if they will fit.. yes they will fit. Your fronts will be tucked. A 15mm or 20mm V2 spacer will fix that problem in the back. As for the rear, a 10mm or 15mm spacer will work as well... it will make it look conservative and not too aggressive.

Thanks for the help so far... I picked em up off craigslist for $650... Figured it'd pay off to either make em work on my car or flip em. I like the though so I would prefer to be able to use them.

I now have them in hand and they are indeed CE28's...
(I cant find this color anywhere though...)

Now I need tires, from what I have been reading 245/35/19 front and 285/35/19 rears, does that sound right?

and I need suspension and spacers I guess...

Any recommendations would be very helpful.

wow you picked up Ce28s for $650 in pretty aggressive offsets, great job! those wheels are worth about $2000

Tire sizing would work, but I recommend running a thinner profile in the rear so it doesn't trip your VDC out.

EX, 245/35 285/30

Buy coilovers, and then 20mm spacer front and 15mm spacer rear, roll your rear fenders and you're clean, unless you wanna be hella aggressive....

BTW, don't buy tein basics they're over priced and aren't that great.

Get BC, Megans or something else.

Thanks, I will look in to those coilovers...

Yeah, I wasn't really looking to buy wheels yet, just looking. When I found these, I figured I shouldn't pass them up. Particularly because I haven't seen another set in this color anywhere.
