Volk Racing SF Winnings Pix

Hey Guys, I just ordered the attached wheels for my DG 6MT coupe. Mercury Silver.
F 19 x 8.5
R 19 x 9.5
My question is regarding the tires:
Should I go with the
245 35 19 Front
275 x 30 x 19 Rears or
275 x 35 x 19 Rears?

I do plan on lowering the coupe a bit. How low should I take it? Should I go with the 30's or 35 in the rear? Should I have gone with the 20's?

I'm planning on running 275 35 19's in the rear and 245 35 19 in the front. I also plan on dropping it when i get the wheels...

Re: Volk Racing SF Winnings Pix

Great Choice,
I Just picked up My VOLK GTC same sizes in the Same Color Mercury Silver. I went with 245-35-19 front and 285-30-19 rear Dunlop SP 9000, That size rear or the 275-35-19 will work fine. Everyone that see's my wheels are amazed at How Close They match the DG color. You will Be very happy with them as well. You should have seen how many people were peeping them out On The Strip in Las Vegas this past weekend............. Good Luck, Great Choice......

Post your pics of the GTC's on DG. I'm interested on how that would look.

Re: Volk Racing SF Winnings Pix

My suggestion:
245/35R19 or 255/35R19 Front
275/35R19 Rear

Do not use 285/30R19 in rear it's too far off from stock IMO.

20's??? I didn't think they made the Volk SF Winnings in 20"??!!!

BTW, Nice rim. Only thing that's keep me from buying the exact same rims, is finding what I consider a good price, time it takes to get them, and would have to lower my car to make it look right....which is fine by me except there is not rear camber kit for the G as far as I know.
