Volk Racing GTS fitment (19x8.5)

elevensec7 · 10-10-2006, 07:11 PM

I'm getting ready to buy a set of the GTS wheels by Volk in 19x8.5, but I have the DF210 lowering springs on the car. My question is whether or not I am going to experience any rubbing in the fender well when i make a full turn. I NEED SOME GOOD INTEL HERE!!!!!

Yeah, and I don't have a clue as to what offset to go with either.

the previous owner put 245/45's on my stock BBS's and they rub so imnot sure what will happen with yours. not sure if this helped either.

For offset, something between +43 and +50 would be safe. Also, if you use 225 or 235/35/19, you will not rub. Just make sure the wheels clear Brembos. 245/35/19 you might rub... 245/30/19 would work as well. 235/35/19 would be my choice.

19s aren't my cup of tea as I value performance more on cars like ours, but if you like it, by all means, go for it
