Volk SF Winning Wheel help
hey guys, finally decided on wheels for my car. Quick question though. I've decided to go with 9.5 inch in the front and 10.5 in the back for a nice lip.
I was wondering what offsets i'm gonna need for these (i do have the brembos). I want the wheels to be pushed out to the fenders-- im not a huge fan of the wheels sitting well within the wheel well itself. consequently, will i need to roll my fenders(-- i'm dropped on tein s tech)? and what size tires do you guys recommend? guess that's more than one simple question, huh? thanks again!

275 will be stretched but to what degree depends on the tire (I had Toyo T1-S in 275 and it was stretched a little - definitely noticeable if that matters to you). I now have 10.5 +22 in the rear with a 285. It clears, but my fenders are rolled and I'm only lowered by about .8 inch. Not sure how much a difference a +17 rear would make though.

Lots of body shops roll fenders, but it is a learned skill. Rolling also has the possibility of cracking the paint on the fenders (happened to my friend's WRX). Unless you find a good shop whose work you know, you might want to consider having them cut instead. No chance of cracking paint with this method. Good luck.

totally changed my mind but just want to be sure after seeing that gray g35
front 255 35 19 on a 9.5 +19 no problems correct??
rear 285 35 19 on a 10.5 +17 just have to cut rear fenderlips??
now how is stretching of the tire?
255 35 19 are approved from 8.5-10 and a 285 35 19 is approved from 9.5-11 inch rim. so the look will be the same as far as tire sidewall matching with the lip on both front and rear here.
now in front 19x9.5 with +19 has a lip of 67 mm which is 2.64 inches while the 19x8.5 with +23 2.40 inches. ONLY 1/4 inch more lip in front???
now if i went with 19x9.5 rear +19 offset i would be at a 67mm lip which is 2.64 compared to the 19x10.5 +17 has lip of 80 mm
which is 3.15 inch lip thats 1/2 inch more lip.
am i seeing something wrong here?
