Default Best size without rolling the fender?

I just got my 2007 Z and I plan on getting a set of 19' Volk GTF's. Can someone make a recommendation in offsets, etc. so I can get the aggressive stance without having to roll the fenders or have any rubbing problems? Tire size suggestions would be appreciated too

Go as aggressive as you can and roll the fenders, there's a diy thats really easy to do in the forums. Otherwise you are going to settle for higher offsets and regret it down the line

I have +17 +18 GTS wheels on my 07, did the DIY fender rolling looks sick!!

I'm running Volk LE37T's in 19" with 9½" front, 10½" rear, +22 offset on both front and rear. For tires, I'm using Michelin PS2s - 255/35 in front, 285/35 in rear. No rubbing problems at all.

Pics can be seen in this thread...

Dave can pull off 285s because of his +22 offset. You go any lower you're going to have to roll.

Mild fitment for the GTF. will be 19x9.5 +17 19x10.5 +24. You will not need any fender modifications with this fitment. If you want to go aggressive and roll, you can go +15 in the rear. +15 and +24 will give the same wheel depth but the +15 will stick out more giving it a much more aggressive look....

19x10.5 +24 on 285/35/19



19x10.5 +15 on 275/35/19

285/35 bfg's ftw! I had a little rub, but a rubber mallet took care of that.
