I am looking at either the volk gt-s or sf challenges but i notice most people are running the 19x9.5f 19x10.5r with the huge lips in the back... i dont really like that aggressive of a setup and was looking for my options in a 19x8.5f 19x9.5r setup... what offsets would work best while still maintaining a somewhat aggressive look just not quite as aggressive as the 10.5s most people have... from what i have found one example was 19x8.5f +21 and 19x9.5r +23... what other options are there? and if possible does anyone have pics of these types of setups?

I guess what i mean is, i dont like how the wheels sort of flare out a tad, i was hoping of a more flush look

Use a offset calculator to compare your current wheels to the new wheels. With the new dimensions, check the car with a tape. Do you clear the suspension, brakes calipers and fenders? Reference: http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp

Weren't you the one that posted about the GTS in 19 X 8.5" and 19 X 9.5" in another thread you started? It is not about the width of the wheel that makes it stick out, it is the offset. I posted in your other thread that if you do the +30 in the front and +28 in the rear using 9.5" and 10.5" it will not stick out. Here is a picture so you can see for yourself. If you are interested these are for sale.

Not that I don't like phat lips, but with the power I'm pushing, I like to get as WIDE on the tires as possible and least amount of negative camber. With that set, a more conservative offset is needed in your case. Get the GT-S wheels in 19x9.5 (+30) and 19x 10.5 (+28).

why do you say that?

matthew122

What tire sizes could you fit on this setup? 255/35, 285/35? That's the setup I'd like to go with since I don't want to roll my fenders or have the rim stick out past the fender.

thats the tire size i was looking at 255/35 and 285/35 toyo t1r... hopefully no fender rolling with the +30 and +28

Disclaimer: I'm not sure what kind of suspension you guys are running, my recommendations are based on minimal drop, about 1".

The 255/35 and 285/35 setup will be fine with the offsets I recommended. No fender rolling will be needed. You can however go slightly more aggressive in the front or go with 265 and you will be dead flush, but 255's will still look good. 285's will be perfect in the rear, and you can probably also get away with 295's. But again, all depends on which tire you use, suspension, camber, etc.

To be safe, just go with the 255/35 and 285/35.

with a 295, he should be fine on a +28 offset.

im running stock suspension at the moment and i MAY consider the nismo suspension down the road but for now and probably for a while it is stock suspension


and by a more agressive front do you mean say instead of a +30 maybe a +23? so a +23 front and +28 rear?

Zivman

A +23 front and +28 rear would be good. Just take into consideration clearances for brakes if you have brembos or plan on going with a BBK

no brembo

Here is the +28 in the rear with 285-35-19. It does not rub at all. Fenders are not rolled. As you can see it will also clear BBK. This set up does not stick out at all. I am actually trying to sell these because I am looking to get the more aggressive set up. I am lowered on Tien S also.

^ those are nice. You can probably squeeze in 305's with a fender roll!
