Considering Volk GT-C 18x8.5 +48, 18x10.5 +48
Hey guys, I have a sedan and am considering purchasing these Volk GTC 18x8.5 +48 18x10.5+48. This is my first car and I've done a lot of reading on the forums but my knowledge isn't where I want it to be yet. I have an opportunity to purchase these "excellent condition, 90% tread on tires" rims for ~1200, have a few questions:
1. I wasn't planning on having a really aggressive or hellaflush stance, what's your guys general opinion on these on a sedan?
2. Would I have to roll fenders?
3. Would you guys go for a more aggressive offset? As stated earlier I wasn't looking for hellaflush/too aggressive but I wanted something more aggresive than stock.
Thanks

Completely ignore what suprasam said.
The issue you're going to have with these wheels is the inner clearance running that high of an offset is going to rub the strut with that width. even if you add spacers you're going to get to the point where the wheel is too aggressive to fit under the fenders.
I recommend to keep looking, look for specs are 9 +25 and 10 +40ish. But on the lower end of the 40mm offset.

Thanks for the advice guys, I'll pass on these...considering the 350z anniversary wheels / Touring 18" v2 from the 350z...from a site, I got these specs:
Front
Size: 18x8.0
Offset: +30mm
Weight: 24.4
Tire: 225/45/18
Rear
Size: 18x8.5
Offset: +33mm
Weight: 25.8
Tire: 245/45/18
I have seen these on other G sedans as well, there would fit perfectly and there would be no need for fender rolling, or any rubbing against any inner suspension parts as you stated? Thanks
