Default Big wheels 20'' GTC 19'' 5ZR *56k good luck*

Here are some pics of customer cars that we have worked on the last couple of days at AutoRnD

Volk GTC 20x9.5+20 F 20x10.5+22

















Did not roll fenders on the car no rubbing, but didn't push it under extreme cornering and steering angles to see if it would rub in extreme conditions.

Next is 5zigen 5ZR 19x8.5+33 19x9.5+31
Also installed are Zeal V6 coilovers







If you have any fitment/offset questions feel free to chat it up, we make aggressive fitment wheels happen

I might sell my 19inch Volk SF Challenge wheels and get the 20inch GTC's. Do you mind asking me how much did the 20inch GTC's come out to??? Just the wheels alone without tires. I want the same sizes and offsets that are shown above on the sunset Z. I would very much appreciate it. Thanks

MRJDMZ33, did you install your TPS on your SF Challenge?

the 20" gtc's look absolutely amazing -- but I can't imagine how heavy they must be since they seem to be the heaviest in the volk lineup.

Noway man...All you do is take off the Touring wheels and put your new set of wheels on, and that's it. That's the way the TPS is disconnected. Then when you sit in your car and go to where your TPS is supposed to read on your middle dash gauges, it will simply read nothing.

Noway man...All you do is take off the Touring wheels and put your new set of wheels on, and that's it. That's the way the TPS is disconnected automatically. Then when you sit in your car and go to where your TPS is supposed to read on your middle dash gauges, it will simply read nothing.

just out of curousity im wonderin if heavier offsets are available for the zigen 5zr wheels. it seems to me that 10mm heavier offset wheels would have a much more aggressive appearance than the offsets on the wheels in the pics. those offsets are too close to stock & the only saving grace there seems to be the wider wheel widths. i know my statement is very opinionated but i know im not the only one that feels this way. i went 15mm & 20mm on my milanos to get that aggressive look, even wish they offered a more aggressive offset than that for the rear personally.........does zigen not offer heavier offsets?
thanx,

The wheel and tires weighed 55lb for the front and 57 lb for the rear


For the 5 zigen 5ZR wheels, the lowest 8.5" width offset is +30
for the 9.5" it is +13 but we went with the +31 since the 13 might be too low. I agree with you however, the lack of low 20 offsets with the 8.5 and 9.5 width 5ZRs is upsetting. If you go with the 8, 9, or 10 inch width you can get those better offsets.

ok i see, thanx for that info. i have the zigen 5zr copse wheels on my 300zxtt. i bought them way back when they 1st came out. i trusted the distributor that i purchased from to sell me the correct offsets for my application sincei was unsure back then. i was a tad displeased since they too were not where i thought they would sit. they still look great but 1/4" more offset would look much better:


much better seen from this angle:


oh well, i learnede from my mistakes...beautiful wheels none the less!
