Default Offset What Is It And Will +45 Fit A GS

hey guys im thinking about either Volk Racing challenge or Advan AVS 7, i want the AVS more and more because of the 10" rear rim.. and also the spokes go all the way to the edge which makes the wheel look even bigger

so will +45 offset fit? what is offset? does it matter what the width of the wheel is?

im thinking about 9" Front and 10" rear... crazy sizes for a crazy guy, tell me what you think guys thanks

oh and its a 114.3 bolt pattern is that right?

Clearance and offsets will be influenced by the suspension you plan on using....Here is an example that will work fine for Eibach/H+R/ or L-tuned springs.(anything from 1- 1 1/2" drop)
-Adavan limited model 7 is awesome....and 19's will look huge!!!
There is a pic floating around of 19's on a GS...Not sure which web site though...
-114.3 is the correct bolt pattern.
-19x9" front with +38 will be fine w/245/35/19..(choices are +38 or +45)
-19x10" +45(I believe +45 is the only option?) offset will absolutely fit perfect in the rear with a 275/30/19..

I personally like those ALOT better than the Challenge..JMO...

sasha,

just hope that there are as many cheesy copies of the avs 7 around your area as i see here everyday in LA. as tiny said, 19s would look GREAT.

volk challenge looked good when it is spinning, not really when it is standing still, jmo

If you want Model 7s, look into Championato SS7. The curvature makes 18s look like 19s (I've seen them so I know) and RAYS quality is top-notch.

I have been contemplating the 19" Volk Racing Challenge for the GS too. The 19"'s will look big on them thats for sure. Right now I have 19" Enkei Aegis (mesh) wheels and cant decided to change or not. Theres a pic of a white Aristo with 19" Challenges and it looks dope....Anyways...if any one is interested, I might have a set of brand new 19x8.5 / 19x9.5 Volk Challenges (Silver/Blue) for sale soon. I dont have the offset in front of me, but they are for a Supra/GS application.

Basically, I have more sets of wheels that I can really use right now. I have the Enkei Aegis on the car right now and then I have the brand new challenges in the garage. I cant decided between the luxo look of the Aegis or the tuner look of the Challenge.

I also have another set of gun metal phalenx too. I was going to keep them for when I was going to get another Supra, but that doesnt look like that is going to happen right now. So basically, I have too many than I can use.. =)
