Default Need your opinions on VOLK Progressiv MEs with the following offset

19x8.0 +43 fronts
19x9.5 +35 rears

What do you guys think? Does anyone have these wheels with this particular offset currently on their ride? Any pics would be much appreciated. Thanks!

do you drive a 250 or 350?

If it's a 350 you will most likely need spacers to clear the front brakes. These are very conservative offsets. The rears are a little better but IMO unless your getting these for nothing more than free I would pass them up. They will be others...

The front is too conservative. Try something 19X8.5 +30 to +35 for the front.

The rear is fine if you want to acheive sporty look (Euro Sport kind of look).

If you want hellaflush, then this set won't deliver.

This is how 19x8.5+35 19x9.5+36 would look:

or search through Volk Owners Thread, there are many of them:

IMO, with those widths, I would go +22 on all 4. This will sit nice!

im not going for hellaflush - though i appreciate the style it's a little bit unpractical for me as a daily drive. i might throw some 10/15mm spacers for both the front and back, the only thing stopping me is all the negative comments i've heard regarding spacers

check out the will those wheels fit thread. Pretty much every fitment ever has already been addressed on there from battleships to massive poking.

I have 19 x 9.5 +38 and 19 x 8.5 +38 on mine and it is not a bad fitment but I am not lowered. I have the stock sport suspension that was available in 2008.
