Default StopTech + GTS = ???

hi everybody
just printed out the wheel fitment "drawing" from the StopTech webpage
to make sure it fits my 19" Volk GT-S.front fits just like glove, but i´m not quiet sure about the rear

so does anyone know if the rear 4 pot fits the agressive offset ( +18) GT-S rim??

It will fit, NitrousZ has stoptechs 4 pistons in the back with those offsets and it fits fine.

Go for the candy blue for sure. That would be pimp.

it'll be fine. It'll look like the wheels are made for it. The spokes will clear the calipers by about 2mm in the rear. As flush as you're gonna get.

why not just go for their std blue? It matches quite nicely and you know it will be durable and applied properly

Or just get them in whatever color and have them powdercoated locally
