Need size suggestions on Volk CE28N

I auctioned my 1955 Chevy Bel Air 2-door Hardtop on Ebay and got $21,200, so it looks like I might be able to swing some Volks immediately upon delivery of my G. Of course, I have no idea what size is needed or which is considered the best offset, etc. I'm going with Volk CE28N (bronze) in 19", but I thought I better have more specs than that before I start calling around for prices. Any help would be appreciated. Not set on width yet, but I'd rather have some free space than having minimal clearance for the sake of a deeper dish.

I remember seeing a member's black G with these rims but can't recall who it was. Can't recall if they were 18's or 19's either, but they looked great!

Also, any shop names that you can pass along that have notoriously good prices and service would be appreciated as well.

This will be for an '05 Coupe 6MT

Most G35 Coupe drivers run volks in 19x9.5 and 19x10.5,

We have the 19x8.5 and 19x9.5's in stock.

let me know...

How about offset figures? And, ultimately, I may let tire availability help determine the width I go.

I'll be sure to swing by your site when I start looking for prices and availability.

On my sedan, I'm running bronze Volk CE28N's in 18x8.5 w/ a +40mm offset all around w/ 245/40R18 Yokohama AVS db S2's. Here is a picture:

Thanks jstwong. They look great on your sedan!! Who did you get them from? And do you mind me asking what you paid for the entire wheel/tire combo? I realize it will be less than what 19s will run, but it will give me a good ballpark figure. Thanks again for the pic.

Never realized how good they would look on an LR coupe. VERY nice!

The rear tire looks a little stretched/wrapped. Is that a result of your tire choice or more a result of the offset? I hate to sound ignorant on this subject... ...but I guess there's no hiding the obvious.

My setup will not rub nor will I need to roll my fenders if I were to lower my car. If I went with wider tires, I would have to roll the fender to lower the car. (per the guy at the shop that has done a lot of wheel setups for the G35 Coupe.)
