Volk Racing GT-AV Photos please
If anyone has any photos of Volk GT-AV's on a Z (or any other car for that matter) I'd really appreciate them or a link being posted.
8.5/9.5/10.5" it doesnt matter - my money is burning a hole in my pocket having to wait to place an order!
Thanks in advance!

If you want to run these widths (9.5/10.5) these offsets are really your only choice, particularly if you have Brembos or a big brake kit.
The issues (for me) is whether the lip on the rear rim is too big for my liking and secondly, I think the 245/275/35 tyre looks a bit stretched compared to the same tyre on a 8.5/9.5 set up. IMO this leaves the rim a bit more exposed than on the narrower rim - a 285 or 255 would fit better but then you'll have clearance / rubbing problems... Check out the look of Arturo's 8.5/9.5 Challenge set up which IMO looks absolutely spot-on - the offsets are very similar to the GTAV..
There are also more potential suspension issues with the wider rim I think.
In terms of a 8.5/9.5 set-up, my guess is that the offsets would be +23f and a +24 or +27 on the rear. Bryan from 350Zonlinestore is very helpful and knowledgeable...I am sure he can help you out - I'll certainly be purchasing my wheels/tires from him. Also, from what I can read from the Volk website, there is only a small difference in rim depth / lip size between the two set ups.
Interestingly, whilst the freight costs about US $400 to Australia, purchasing from Bryan/350Zonlinestore will save me nearly AUD$1600 ($1200 US) compared to buying them locally DownUnder. Check your local prices...you might be pleasantly surprised with what Bryan can offer you!
Hope this helps / answers your questions.

Hi many thanks for your answer!!
Cause i'm not understand about all, my english it's limited
For example i like the status on the pics post up, that it's good,what offset you think?i need that the tire come alignament with the body.
If it's correct, you tell me to put 8.5 front(i have the original Brembo brake), but i have look that this fit make like the original and with a 255 tire it's small..
This is some pics that i have found,but on SF, GTAV maybe have different settings.
Anywhere i contact Bryan.
Really many thanks!

I totally agree with you. I didn't really like the new Volks at all, but the more I looked, especially after seeing some pics of them on cars, I really started to like them. So much, in fact, that I have a set of GT-V's on the way. Hopefully i'll have them late next week!

From the pictures you posted it looks to me like those cars have a 9.5 / 10.5 set up.
An 8.5 / 9.5 combination uses the same size tires as the 9.5 / 10.5 but the reduced rim width brings them slightly more inside the fenders. However, the tire has more "bulge" to it on the 8.5 / 9.5.
With the correct offsets, either combination will clear your Brembos.
Ultimately, the choice is up to you and what look you like - good luck!

Mercury silver is like the silver on the door handles and steering wheel.
The other silver is a flatter / matte finish and not as bright.
Hope this helps.
