Volk Av3 on Stock 03' Sedan

Hey guys,

Just wanted to double check something before I get these - will I have any fit issues using Volk av3s at 19x9.5 +22 and 8.5 +22 with 1.5in lips and 2in lips respectively? Stock 03' Sedan.

Also the Volks bolt pattern is 5 by114.3 - this will mount directly on my G correct?
Thanks

OGG

Are your fenders completely stock as well? What tire size did you want to run?

Fenders are stock.

Tires are mounted - 275/40/19 rear and 245/45/19 front. Would like to keep those if possible, at least through this summer.

Those tire sizes are too tall for the car. I would not recommend this setup.

yea - I get that they're not exactly what I am looking for.

I want the rims, the tyres are coming with them. My issue is if I will be able to run them for a bit untill I can get new rubber on them.

I take it from the responses this might not be possible? I am not sure of the size of rubber I have on my OEMs (will not be home until this evening) but I take it these won't work?

If the rims should fit - does anyone have suggestions for rubber size?

i'm no expert but those are good offsets for the sedan...you shouldn't have a problem with those wheels with smaller tires at all

The rear wheels are going to stick out on a stock suspension. You'd need a 2" drop with the natural camber to make it look good.

As for tire sizes, you can do the factory 225/40/19F 245/40/19R or you can do a 245/35/19F and 255/35/19R.

I would say go with a 275/35/19 in the rear but the offset is too aggressive even if you had a 3" drop -4 camber

If you haven't rolled your fenders, I would do so. The rear specs are a bit aggressive compared to what we've tried before, especially with those tires. I don't think it'll work well with the tires that are on the wheels now though.

Thanks for the replys - lots to consider.

Aestetics aside, can someone provide a layman awnswer regarding if I would be able to put that wheel/tire combo on my car as a daily driver for a little while.

I understand and apprechiate the aestetic issues I may have, and am open to constant "SUV" and "4x4" comments if I were to post pics, but I just need to figure out if this will work. Otherwise my budget will likley move me towards reps, which I would rather avoid.

If you are not planning on doing any fender modification at all, I would not run that setup. You are likely to rub in the rear considering the tires are so tall in my opinion. Additionally, since all four tires are outside of 3% of your OEM rolling diameter, it will increase brake wear, potentially leading to brake failure.

Not the most ideal setup overall in my opinion.

this...without a drop you'd be mexi-flush in the rear lol 275 35 would look nice once dialed in

If I went to a 18" 8.5/9.5 would that be an easier fit?

Can get a set with 235/40/18 on the rears - need suggestions on rubber if the fits going to work.

I have a set of 18x8 +43 all around on my G and the 19x9.5 in the rears would be awesome.
