I'm getting ready to order the Volk Racing GT-N for my Enthusiast 350z. My car is Silverstone in color, don't know if I should go with gunmetal or silver wheel? Any advice? Back to the subject, what offset should I go with to get a deep dish look in the front and back. I'm getting 18x10 in back and 18x9 in front. Thanks for the help guys!

I'd be interested in this as well. I'm looking to put 18x9.5 in the rear when i FINALLY get the picken Z and wonder what offset to use. I'd imagine that stock offset might work on the rear since the fender wells just dwarf any wheel back there.

The fronts i'm not sure on. =\

The volks this guy has over at http://freshalloy.com/ are fairly deep. They look really sharp:

It is my understanding that both Volk and Nismo are using a 22mm offset on there rear 10 and 10.5" setups. If you want to play it safer, you can run 25mm, especially if you think there is any chance you may lower it in the future, and dislike the idea of possibly having to roll your fender lip. Although I believe there are guys running 22mm up front on 9" wheels, it seems most are reporting slightly higher offset numbers...like the mid to upper 20's. I'm going to probably be running 245/45/18's up front on a 9" and 285/40/18's on a 10.5' in the rear. I will be running a 22mm offset on the rear because I don't care if it's close and I ultimately have to shave things...but am less sure of my final offsets up front. I want to have the least amount of safe fender clearance and need to get more feedback myself...so I hope this helps a little, but would like to hear from others also!

I'm running +22 on a 19x8.5 front and +22 on a 19x9.5 rear. At least that's what I ordered

Daytona,

Can you tell us what size tire you are running on the front and rear? And give us either some closeup picx...or a detailed explaination of the "depth" of the sidewall within the fender both front and rear. Thanks a heap.

In front: 245/35/19
In back: 275/35/19





These two pictures give a rough approximation of how close the fender and sidewall are, although I have yet to lower the car. I would probably have an extra 1/4-1/2" of clearance or more when I get coilovers.
