285 not fit w/ gts (+17-18) and gf210 dropp
all you guys with an 06 with volk gts +18 offsets (rear) using toyo proxies with 285/35/19 with a 1.2 drop using gf210....any problems.
just bought this great set up and used this site to get my sources...but now my installer says its going to need more than a shave or a roll of the fenders to make it work. He claims that it sticks out more than an inch that I will need fender mods for this to work. Now I know I've seen this set up numerous times here on the board and with no problems. What do you guys think is going on.
A culprit might be my tanabe gf210, lowering the car bout 1 to 1.5 inches.
Also, my z is an 06....
does anyone have input.

installer claims that its so wide that its beyond the usual fix of a fender roll or shave..

I had Volk GTS wheels with 285s in the back on BFG KDWII (alot more aggressive then Toyo) and I'm lowered on GF210. I just did a little bit of rolling and I had NO rubbing issues on my 07.

Don't mean to flame, but I don't understand why you didn't do the proper research when going with these aggressive offsets. You have to keep in mind when all these ppl post pics of cars with the aggressive offsets, the cars are slammed, running -2 degrees PLUS of neg camber, cut fenders, and stretching their tires on 275's. Thats what you need to do to make this work. Your installer probably had the car up on the lift and gauged it by eye. Perhaps 285's will work, but I wouldn't risk it, either return the wheels, or trade out the tires and do what I said above.
You shouldnt have to make your car fit wheels, wheels should fit the car.

my old wheels...
sitting on a 06, with GF210's, with toyo T1R's 255/285 +17/18
no rubbing at all after a rear fender roll
your installer is on crack. i ran these on my car, same springs, rear fenders rolled.. no issues.
you may have issues if you put a fat chick in your car though..
