Volks SF-Winnings 19" Offset question??

I'm planning to purchase this kind of a setup.

19x9.5 17et with 245/35/19 SO-3s
19x10.5 19et with 275/35/19 SO-3s

Would I need to roll my fenders?
How bout if I lower it 1-inch?
What kind of camber kits do I need to fix the camber?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Michael

I used Volk SF Challenges with a 8.5" width for the front and 9.5" width for the rear. I have Toyo T1-S tires in a 245x35x19 for the front and a 275x35x19 for the rears. (I had pole positions) The front offset is 21 and the rear is 23. I have Eibach pro springs and the wheels fit perfect....NO fender rolling.

Well I guess i should get my question answered as well...

I'm looking to get the SF winnings 19" as well for my G35 coupe. What size rims front and rear should i get with tire sizes so I DO NOT have to modify the G in anyway???

By the way if anyone has pics of mercury silver or gunmetal on a Brillant Silver G post them up!!!!! ALSO any information as to where is the best place to buy these from, online or store?? I'm Located in New Jersey!

Thanks!

I've ordered SF-winnings a little over a month ago - I did TONS of research to get the exact look I wanted for my car - I wanted a fat lip in the front and a slightly fatter lip in the rear - I also did not want to roll my fenders if I dropped my car an inch... so I decided on the following (I have a BS Coupe also - SO NO COPYING! )

SF-Winnings Mercury Silver
Front - 19x9.5 +29 w/ 255/35/19 BFGoodrich KDW2
Rear - 19x10.5 +29 w/ 285/35/19 BFGoodrich KDW2

Everything I learned is telling me this setup will NOT rub on my car with Hotchkis springs installed (around 1" all the way around - about 1/8" more in the rear than the front)... I guess we'll see!

Anyone have pics?? I love the SF winnings as well in Mercury Silver, But i'm not sure about the offset, rim width, and tire width to go with so that I will not get rubbing or need any type of modification. I'm NOT going to drop the car at all. So is that the best setup to go with?? ALSO where to buy them from??

Mike at RevHigh is a good place to start - I've done business with him before and had a great experience...

I ordered my wheels from Chris at F1 Motorsports.

He's running:

19x9.5 +19 front
19x10.5 +29 rear

By process of elimination I finally found out his offsets - the only thing I'm doing different is going with a less aggressive offset for the front (+29) that has the same size lip (since the 9.5" +29 wheel is meant to be in the rear of an 8.5/9.5 setup) - I went with less aggressive offsets so I can be more aggressive with my tire selection... I love Profile's wheels, but I'm not a fan of stretched tires in the least (and his are s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-d), so I'm going with the same setup that Tonio (Tony) has on his Diamond Black SF-winnings : 255/35/19 front & 285/35/19 rear BFG KDW2's... I ordered my wheel tire package before I saw pictures of Tonio's ride, and I think I made the perfect decision for me...

Sorry to be so long winded, but spending this much money made me do a ton of research (about 1 1/2 yrs worth!) before I picked out exactly what I wanted...

What's TIRE STRETCHING? and is that bad???
Yeah i'm not that big into understanding the offset...so you are saying your tire set up is the "better" way to go??
I'm just worried about rubbing! I don't want to modify the car in anywhich way or form, just bolt them on and enjoy...

I feel the same, if you are gona spend this much money...better get it right the first time around...

maybe i'm not following what you're saying here... it sounds like you're saying that your 9.5" wheel is going to have the same size lip as his 9.5" even though you have more offset? the +29 version (yours) of the wheel will have 12-13mm less lip than the +17 version (his).

Regarding the rears, has a 10.5 w/+29 and a 1" - 1.5" drop been proven by anybody yet to not rub and not require ANY fender mods? I live in the land of salt and i'm not about to pop the cherry on the factory paint/primer/etc. and invite in a rust party...

thanks,
Jeff
