Looks really good NKohler

And I like your G redlude. Are the fenders/sizing the same between the G and Z though?

I mean yeah, a 19x9.5F and 19x10.5R +22 will look more flush and will be beefier, but it will also be heavier, and if you lower your car at all require a fender roll. If you are getting a good deal on the GT-C dont sweat it, it will look great! You will pretty much have the same setup as my car. If you want more pics I have tons, PM me.

But if you are paying 2k or more for them I would just wait out and get the 9.5 and 10.5 setup. FWIW I paid $1800 for my GT-C's slightly used WITH toyo rubber about 3 years ago when those sizes/offsets were the hotness, over time its just got more and more crazy with the sizes and offsets... im not too sure I agree with most people's opinions here on that.

within 1-2mm, enough that Z's and G's run the same sizing until you get really extreme

dave, im going to have to completely agree with red on this one.

+22 with 9.5 and 10.5 are pretty flush for the average person. now tuck them in an inch all around and you got yourself lightly tucked wheels. while it doesnt look bad, its far from aggressive and being "flush". im +15 in the front with 9.5" and im still a few mm's away from being completely happy with it but its close enough for me.

I have a related question:

Would 19x9.5 in the front and 19x10.5 in the rear with +25 offset all around require fender rolling if no suspension work has been done???

Thanks for the help!

no, if you dont lower the car you really dont have to do much at all with any offset. you may also be good with a +25 even if you do lower it. ill let the offset experts chime in on that

I have Volk GTC's +22 all the way around, they are 20x9.5 and 20X10.5. Here are some pretty good shots to show the flushness, they are pretty damn flush!

The REAR



The FRONT


Hope this helps!

Overall I'm going to have to agree with redlude on this one. However let's also keep in mind that we are talking about some nebulous word "flush" (or "flushed" as some people like to say, further proving how subjective and open to interpretation that word is). And another thing, he isn't even talking about tire sizes when he really should be, if fender rolling is a concern.

I think the general consensus would be that 9.5 width +22 offset will certainly fit without modifying your camber or your fender lip, and let's assume you are using no larger than 275/35 tire size. I'll bet they would look good. And if you ever wanted to push them farther outward probably a 5mm thick spacer would do the trick.
