Default Help with Volk GTS wheels

I'm looking at a set of staggered Volk GTS wheels in silver for my 2003 Nissan 350Z. I need help in deciding whether to get 19 x 8.5F and 19 x 9.5R or 19 x 9.5F and 19 x 10.5R. I would like the widest stance possible without rolling the rear fenders and stretching the tires. I would also like about a 2 inch lip on the front and 3 inches on the rear (or whichever offsets you think would be best).

I also want to know what size tire you suggest for these wheels.

I am having trouble getting some dealers to respond to my inquiries so any suggestions/recommendations you may have as to where to purchase them from a reputable dealer would also be appreciated.

If anyone has pix of these wheels on your ride please post.

Thanks for your help.

Welcome. 10.5 inches on the rear is possible. Stretching the tire is subjective. PLenty of photos and specs here. Look.

The safe setup (no fender rolling, not stretched, etc.) is:

Front: 245/35-19” tires on 19/8.5” wheels
Rear: 275/35-19” tires on 19/9.5” wheels


If you go with 19 x 9.5F and 19 x 10.5R wheels:

You will likely need to mount stretched tires if you do not want to do any fender-rolling. If you do roll your fenders, you can mount some very wide tires on these wheels.

19 x 9.5 and 19 x 10.5 is a very common setup with something like 245 and 275 without rolling fenders

The standard for the 350Z GT-S is 19X9.5 +17 and 19X10.5 +18

They are hard to find, but we have all the popular colors in stock ready to go. PM me for pricing.

19 x 9.5F and 19 x 10.5R and get 255/35/19 F and 285/35/19 R

if you lower the car you will need to get the fender rolled.

With new car sales down 40% and sales of aftermarket products even worse, buyers are understandably looking for steep discounts.

People with cash and wanting to buy aftermarket wheels and other products are getting very good deals these days.

9.5/10.5 +17/+18 offsets. 245/35/19 & 275/35/19 Falkens or Toyos, and you'll be good.

Probably because you do not respond. This thread is an example.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo I'm waiting to pay off the car before modding, so that means no more GT-S by that time?

Hey guys, thanks for all the help,suggestions and recommendations. I've decided to go in a different direction and went with the new Work Gnosis GS2 wheels instead. I'll post pics and specs as soon as i get them.
