I want to put volk GT-C wheels on my Z. I am looking to put on 19x9.5 front and 19x10.5 rear but not sure if they will fit properly. How do I go about finding out if this combination will fit on the 350Z?? I also want wheel sizes that will not stick out beyond the wheel well. Also, Later on i plan on upgrading the suspension. I dont want wheel widths tho interfere with the suspension upgrade. Please give your input on wheel setups. Thanks.

I have talked with a few wheel companies but they don't seem very knowledgable when I ask them questions? They refuse to give me a direct answer when I ask if 19x9.5 front and 19x10.5 rear will fit. they never mention anything about offsets. I am getting a little frustrated with them.
Can anyone give me ideas where to look for Volk GT-C wheels. People who are knowledgable and will tell me the correct wheel sizes and offsets. Thanks

On this thread there is a off set calculator. you can call companies that offer your wheel you want and ask for the offset then input it to the calculator. the calculator willl tell you how far out the new wheel will stick out from stock position (not from the wheel well).
I'm running
19x8.5 29mm offset on 255/35/19
19x10.5 31mm offset on 285/35/19
i still have room to go out a little further
Someone with a white Z mentioned they had fit
19x9 22mm offset
19x10.5 22mm offset
that's probably as far out as you can go. Since the lower the offset the further out they go. you'd probably want to stick with 25mm-30mm offset if you're going to lower the car, on 10.5 wide rear wheel

by the way if you do a search by Volk GTC (the wheels I was going to get if it wasn't for the LONNNNNNGGGGGG wait) people put the offset specs and wheel width on those.
The guy I mentioned who is running the set up you want
19x9.5 front
19x10.5 rear
has the Volk TE-37. Seems like most people including my self go through the same people for Volk wheels. I think they are one of the few Volk wheel distributors in the US. But i cant remember the website at the momemt.
