Default How bad will these wheels poke out?? Volk GT-C 19x8.5/9.5 +27mm +24mm

Fronts: 19x8.5 +27mm

Rears: 19x9.5 +24mm

I found a ridiculous deal on these wheels, I have always like them. Really would like to run them, how bad will it be? I am not planning on lowering, if I do it will be RSR downs most likely. I will run a stretched tire if I have to, just wondering how bad these will be? If possible at all, I have seen these specs on 2IS's, sits basically flush.

Thank you!

Search the forums and see other peoples fitment.

Honestly the front will probably work but the rear will poke pass the fender.

Ideally the rear should be +30 area for a 19x9.5 wheel.

Thanks for the reply! I have searched. Can't find anything on the 3IS with these.

How far out do you think in the rear?

They should be flush in the rear with 9.5 or have some very minor poking. The offset is low, but they aren't that wide so you should be ok. Rubbing wise you'll still have some issues.

I'm running 9.5 +22 all around and the back is flush enough, but i rub every now and then. +24 shoudn't be a problem, depending on what suspension you may need to cut some fender lining and stretch your tires a little.

Love these wheels as well. Have them on my s2000. I think they will look great on the IS. Post pics if you get them. I have 19x10.5 et 40 in the rear and it sits flush.

Yeah I think I am getting them, I will probably get them powder coated, not a fan of the polished lip look really. Probably do a gloss black barrel with a satin or matte black spoke section. Or leave it gunmetal not sure yet.

I just put those on mine and I'm liking them so far. I just put smaller tires on all around because the old ones were a little meaty. These are the old pics.
