Perfect if you don't want to roll fenders. Some of the Volk guys are gonna turn their nose up at you in that it doesn't have the fattest lip, or begin to stick out like a rally car. But you'll be satisfied.

It won't be flush.

If you're fine with that, then it's ok.

old school flush: your offset ok.
new school flush: sticking out past fender, single digit offset plus spacer. aka VIP.

its fine if you are not into spacers, shaving/rolling fenders and not super slammed. good luck and enjoy your new wheels bro.

I have the same setup. its not the most agressive thing ever, but I am slammed and I dont have to roll anything and they still look pretty good.

Its personal opinion and taste. People these days with single digit offsets and stretched rubber may like that look, but I dont.

Here is my car. Posted the rear shot so you can see the offset. PM me if you want more pics.

If i were getting new wheels i would not buy these. If i already owned them, I would keep them and not get more desirable sizes (9.5 front 10.5 rear)

Because the offsets are a little on the high side. It's not VERY noticeable..

But if you want to get it right the first time, then get something with lower offsets. I ran the exact same setup 6 months ago (DB GT-C's) and found I wanted the front wheels to come out a little more.

Here is how they looked 8.5/9.5, +27/+24

Here is +22 all the way around in 20's. Also thinking about a 5mm spacer in rear to make it +17. Very aggresive. Yes, rear fender is rolled. Mine are new school flush, but don't in anyway look like rally car.

those are a great look, certainly better than my 8.5 and 9.5 setup, but I bought them over 4 years ago when these sizes were the ****, lol. If I were buying something today I would go for the +22 or +20ish offsets.
