yes, but my gt-7 are 9.5 and my gt-C are 10.5 and there isn't THAT much difference, so i figure my 10.5 would have bigger lip... hmmm...

theoretically a 9.5 rim can have a bigger lip than a 10.5 rim. as it was said...offset is key. sorry to dissapoint if thats the case

i know it is about the offset. i understand that completely.

i wasn't expecting a HUGE lip by anymeans, just had an idea in my mind of what it would be, and seen pictures but the pic you took threw me off....like i said, it could just be the angle!!!

The thing about the new Racing Harts is that the disk design they use makes the rim appear to have a larger lip. The only thing that throws it off a bit is how the spokes come out so much. IE j5, j8, r5 etc.

Cat, like I mentioned before. The R5 is too mellow for your beast and does not fit your personality

Are these all 10.5 rears? Does anyone have a pic of a 8.5/9.5 setup with these wheels?

Sweet, please post pics ASAP ~~~

I'm ready to order these wheels, I just can't decide on 10.5 or 9.5 rears. Also, what offsets are you going for?

Probabably 275s rear and 245s front. Volk actually specs these sizes for a 8.5/9.5 setup on their Japanese website. However, most people here seem to be using those sizes on 9.5/10.5 setups.
