Volk Lug nuts (12 X 1.25)

19" X 9.5" with a lug pattern of 5 X 114.3.

nice wheels. but putting on a 275/35 would be more similar with the stock size than a 275/30 on the rear. but what about the front? You're not thinking about putting those sizes on all four corners r u? it won't fit in the front that's for sure.

thats the package it comes with.. so maybe I should just buy the rims.. but maybe if the package stays low I will buy.. Im thinking about if i dont buy this package to buy the BFgoodwrinch g-force's...

245/45/18.. maybe thinking 40's with the stock 18" rims... would that look bad?

225/45/18.. same with above...


and would the 19" work with the VDC? or the tire pressure?

Please give us more info on what you want and me or someone else can help you out with no problems. So far you have only given us 1 rim size. If the package you are tring to buy comes with 4 Volk GTC rims that are 9.5 inch wide, I would pass. Most here will agree on that. Looks so much better with the stagered set up. and will prob handle batter as well. ex. 8.5 inch wide front and 9.5 inch wide rear or 9.5 fr and 10.5 rear. reccomeded sizes for a 8.5 and 9.5 set up are 245/35/19 and 275/35/19. Some people are doing 255 and 285 but Im a wuzz and like to stay what the manufacture of Volks says to go with. BEN

these are the only rims im really looking at right now... so you'd say pass on this package? what if i bought the package and sold the tires so i'd have just the rims? would it work on my 350Z with the VDC and tire pressure (have a gauge inside the car to check tire pressure)

Again, I reccomend both. You will want 8.5 front and 9.5 in the rear. Almost all vendors on this site will hook you up with that set up. New complete set up GTC in 19 inch 8.5 and 9.5 with Toyo TS1, lugs, locks, centercaps will cost you about 3000$ shipping included. price may vary by 100$ up or down deoending on where you get them. Go to the Vender classified section in marketplace section and PM a wheel vender. Also, keep looking in the Private classifeied section in marketplace forum to see if some one is selling that set up. Used will cost you about 2100 to 2400$. BEN

On my Volk LE 19s, I really love the look of an 8.5" up front and a 10.5" rear (245/35/19 and 285/35/19) . . . looks goooooooood.

i can get the 19x9.5 used for about 2000-2100.. but u think i should just buy diff. set and get 8.5 and 9.5?? on my old car that's how it was, is that to look better or for performance? the off set was +37 on all too.
