Default Veilside wide body kit with Axis Hiro or Volk gt-C... Offset?

I am getting the VS wide body kit and need to know what the offset should be for the Axis Hiro 19x9.5 front and 19x10.5 rear - http://www.forperformance.com/axis/hiro/axishiro.html

I want the wheels to be flush with the fenders.

Any help will be appreciated (Lord knows I need it! )

Thanks guys

Ok I just did some checking and it looks like this is a stupid question because the Hiros won't do what I want them to do.

So what type of an offset should I explore if I go with a volk gt-C. Or should I even go bigger with the rear wheel. maybe a 19x11?

I know, but I just couldn't help myself!

Neither of the wheels that you selected are going to be ideal for a widebody setup because they are not offered in the correct sizes/offsets needed to fill in the huge wheelwells (maybe the GT-C, but would be like a 19x10.5 +10 - not good for your suspension) - if you want to do a widebody right, you are going to have to do custom wheels like HRE, Iforged, Kinesis, or the such so they can taylor the wheels to you're liking.... I'm guessing 19x9.5 or 10 front (w/ 275/30/19) and 19x11-12 rear (w/ 305/25/19) - whatever you decide, good luck!

swifty949 will also know the size you need...im surprised noone has answered the question yet

the wheels in the pic are Maido wheels not volk gt-c's...im sure you can get some custom volks to fit but your best bet would be to get custom wheels 10" in the front and like 12" in the back with low offsets

Here you go.... The wheels on the Veilside Z are
19x9 +18 19x11 -18

Use the tool on the link below to find a correct offset for your desired width. With Axis or Volk you will probably have to run a spacer, unless Volk can do a custom order.

Why would he want to ruin his car with ugly and overpriced bandwagon wheels?

Besides if you acually look at spec charts of such wheels made by Rays/volk/SSR etc. You would see that they offer specs as wide as 13 inchs wide and offsets deep into the negatives.
