Someone more knowledgeable about the Volk GT-V's needs to chime in here to confirm for sure, since each spoke design is different.
With the an 9.5 wheel in the front at +24, I think it should clear the Brembos. However, it seems that the offset is a bit low to where the wheel would stick out a bit too much. That would be a bit of a problem since you can't really roll the front fender. Perhaps +30 would probably be better in the front. But my gut tells me that it would clear the Brembos only by a few millimeters (which is the look that most folks are going for these days anyway).
10.5 in the rear at +24 should clear the rear caliper. However, depending on the tire selection, you may need to roll or cut those fenders. I would suggest a +30 offset on this as well, but then again too high of an offset on a 10.5" wheel may rub on the inside.
Basically, I believe +30 for the front and +24 for the rear would probably be best.

hey thanks for the info. anyone else? So +24 on rear seems fine? you think 30 on front? i told the guy exactly what i had. you sure that 24 on front will rub? anyway tyo find out? i dont want the front to look out of wack and dissproportionate. i want the best fit all around. also, i have sprint springs which lower my ride by 1-2 inches. thanks RX
I think you will be fine and actually very happy!
Mine are 30 front and 24 rear.
The rears sit perfect....but the fronts could come to the outside a little more.
Wanna trade????

i had no idea +24 GT-V's were made for fronts with a high pad. the +24 rears will be perfectly fine. i'd run a +17 front instead just in case you plan to swap out the Brembo's for say Endless, or Brembo GT, Grex. +30 will be fine over stock Brembo's, but may not fit over others.

I should have said i have Sprint Springs and it is dropped pretty low. about 2 inches. this is why i didnt get 20's. will that matter? inm afraid of the rubbing.
thanks again RX
I just ordered GB GT-7's in the same size/offset as you since it was the last set left in the US. I was a little concerned because on the Volk offset chart, it doesn't show the high pad clearance for that offset and width combo in 19's. My dealer checked with the distributor and he mentioned the +24 offset is a special size for the G35/350Z and it will clear the Brembo's.
If not, we're both SOL.
