I would love to see some pictures if anyone has this combo. The +17F and +18F that I see so popular looks kind of strange to me. The rears have an enormous lip while the front is so small. There's a big contrast which stands out too much. So I was curious to see what a +17F/+28R setup would look like, hopefully a more uniform look.

I know by going +28mm on the rears, instead of +18mm... you lose about 10mm and when converted to inches. that is 0.39inches... so does that mean the rear lip will be .39inches smaller than that of the +18mm one?

How would a 19x10.5 +28mm lip on the Volk GT-S compare to a 19x10.5 +23mm lip on a volk sf challenge?

Which lip would be bigger, or would it be pretty much the same size?

 

lip will stay the same regardless what offset

 

you sure about that? thats not what i heard from a lot of people online, can someone please confirm.

 

The lip on +28 is 107 mm on 10.5 wheel. The lip on +17 on 10.5" is still he same. The lip on +18 on 10.5 is 125mm. It depeneds on the type. Somebody correct me if i am wrong.

 

Sounds about right iirc. I have the GTS' and the rear has a 125mm lip with the +18. I have a 94mm lip up front with the 9.5" at +17. I did have a catalog that told the exact lip size per offset but I gave it to a friend.

 

im comparing the lip size on a 19x10.5 +28mm and a 19x10.5 +18mm

from what you guys are saying that both of those will have the same exact lip sizes? i have seen pictures of the +28 offset and it doesnt look as wide of a lip as the +18 offset.

 

No they are not the same +28 has 107mm and +18 has 125mm. What i am saying is that different offset may have the same lip depending on the disk type. For example +8 and and +18 will have the same lip size.

Here I found the chart for you.

As far as pictures goes, may be somebody is running the set up you are looking for.

 

thanks, that really helped clear things up for me... looks like the 19x10.5 +28 has a 107mm (4.2inch) lip... which isnt bad at all when compared to the 19x10.5 +23 on the volk sf challenge which is 94mm (3.7inch) lip...

 

9.5 +17 front and 10.5 +18 in the rear fits great. Got to roll fenders though.

 

275 or 285 for GT-S 19x10.5 +28?

I see a lot of people running the 17/18 offset for the volk gt-s on their coupes. But I was curious as to running 17/28 offset? Will it work?

I know the difference in the lip size is 107mm vs 125mm, which isn't too much of a big deal to me by going with the +28 offset for the rear.

But one concern I have is about rubbing issues. I am lowered on tein s-tech with ings+1 all around. Should I go with 275/35/19 or 285/35/19 for the rears considering I am running 19x10.5 +28 offset? I would like to run 275 if possible to prevent from rubbing and having to roll my fenders. Need some of you wheel/offset experts to help me out on this.

 

Fellow Houstonian,

If you want to do it the right way, get the +17/18 offsets and if need be get the fenders rolled. I never seen a +28 offset, but it sounds pretty close to OEM offsets and those are weaksauce. I mean if you are going to spend the money anyways why not do it the right way?

The GTS emphasizes lip, if you want something that is more flush I suggest you look for another wheel.

 

If you run the +28 offset with the 285 tire in the rear you will not rub and will not need to roll the fenders. I know because I ran the same set up before I switched to the +18 set up with the 285 tire. At that point I did have to roll the fenders. I believe it is good to have a contrast in the lip diffference between the front and the rear that way you get the staggered look. If they look the same front and rear it makes it look like a front wheel drive, we are not driving Hondas.

 

He said he didn't like the +17/+18 combo - not everyone wants to roll their fenders. A 19x10.5+28 is not "pretty close to OEM" given the 2" increase in wheel width. We run a 19x10.5 +28 with a 305/30 tire with no rubbing and no fender rolling. There are 2-3mm of clearance between the outside of the tire and the inner most part of the fender without the roll at full suspension compression.

 

thanks for all the info guys. I just wanna make a comparison for the rears 19x10.5 +18 vs 19x10.5 +28 on the volk gt-s. I really wish somebody has this setup on a car so I can see the exact fitment. So you guys are saying with a +28 it won't sit flush with my fenders? By the way I am driving a g35 coupe, not a 350z if that makes a difference.

Can I run 275/35/19 tires on a 19x10.5 +28 though? Sorry I am a bit confused, all this is new to me. This will be my very 1st set of rims so I just want to get my facts straight before I spend a lot of money. I don't want to end up with something I will regret. Appreciate all your help.

 

Here is the +28 with a 285 tire.

 

theduke, nice, is that your setup? doesn't look dropped... doesn't look as bad as i expected... now if those were +18 instead, then i guess the entire tire/rim would stick out 10mm more than that. if that is true, then it doesn't seem like that big of a difference to me. Also the lip size is larger for sure on 19x10.5 +28 than 19x9.5 +17?

thanks for posting that picture up.

 

Honestly, I think a 275 looks a little stretched on a 10.5" wheel. It does depend on which tire brand you choose. You could run a 285, 295, or 305 on the +28.

 

That picture was taken when I was dropped on Tein S-Type springs. I am now dropped on Tanabe springs and have swtiched to the +18 with the 285 tires. I had to roll the fenders. I does not really stick out because I also added some camber to the set up

 

Different offsets and different disks will have different lip sizes. Lower offset = bigger lip. Lower disk size = bigger lip.

 

Dude if you want to get a set you don't want to regret later, get the +17/+18. The GTS emphasis the huge rear lip and small lip up front to give it that mean aggressive stance. Having the same size lip for the front and rear looks boring and ghey, don't undertand why you would want to do that? +28 on a GTS rear...are you kidding me? That's weaksauce and a waste of money as most would agree. With the kit and drop you have, do it the right way or don't it at all. Fender roll is not that hard to do at home, or get it done at a shop fot $90.
