Volk LE37 in Gold

I just sold my LE37's because I wanted more lip. I came across these pics and am shocked by the lip size. Is there any vendor out there that can tell me what offset these could possibly be and if you can get them. I'm willing to purchase asap.

The fronts are 19x9.5 +12 offset. I think I read that from somewhere.

Would I be silly to assume that the smaller the offset the bigger the lip?

The offset has nothing to do with the size of the lip. I'm not a wheel expert, but from my understanding, the offser is the distance from the "flush" of the inner part of the rim to the part where the hub is. So, the smaller the offset number, the further away a rim will be from the inner wheel well. And then, depending on the wheel itself (the width) the more it will stick out of the side of the car.

So basically, a 20"x9.5" wheel with a +12mm offset, will stick out (or appear more wide) than the same wheel with a bigger offset. (i.e, +35mm), In this example, the wheel with the +12 offset will stick out almost an extra inch.

That's Mike's car from Evolution, those were old pics, check out his new setup

Talk to Jeff from Evolution if you want the same set up for the LE's as Mike .He's the guy that I got my wheels from.

he had to use a spacer for the brembo brakes. if you don't have brembos then it'll probably fit no problem. check to make sure

True that... My front setup for the 9.5 didn't have much lip because of the brembos but I had no problems with the 10.5 rear with more lip

Thats the same setup, they are 19x9.5 +12 in the front and 19x10.5 +22 in the rear. The front have a 3mm spacer to clear the stock brembo front caliper. the offset does affect the lip size. they are very nice.

If I get a 19x9.5 +12 in the front with 245/35, will I have any rubbing issues if I don't lower and have no Brembos? Anyone see anything wrong with this setup.
