You can't ask us what we think because we don't know what this setup is going to be used for. Track? Daily Driving? Auto X? I would assume its for daily driving.. we don't know what your taste is. Do you want a wheel fitment that is going to be looking flush and aggressive? Or semi-aggressive and almost flush? With those specs you might have to roll your rear fenders, and if your going to roll your rear fenders, you might as well go with some more aggressive fitment in the rear.

you will need springs too, but the upper perches are swappable...

someone can correct me if i'm wrong...i don't know the technicals, just the basics behind it.
So when the word disk is used, which part of the rims is being mentioned? Forgive me still a little confused.

Its basically a combination of how much material is on the pad (where the back part of the wheel bolts to the rotor) and the spoke design.

what you guys think?
The back will be flush but the front will still be sunken in about 3/4 of an inch. I'm running 19x8.5 + 23 and 19x9.5 + 22 on 235/40/19 and 245/40/19. I have all four fenders cut and shaved and plan on putting a 15-20mm spacer up front. Eventually I will throw the rears up front and get 10 or 10.5 for the rears.

btw how would +14 look on front? would it stick out too far?

+14 won't stick out of the front. Search my name under the photo gallery and you will see my fitment but the front isn't a good angle of how far it is to the fender.

dude check the post right directly above your post. but you may have to go for a little more stretch to fit em . and possibly a slight pull

Does anyone ride on volk GT7 wheels?


It comes in ALOT of variations, and quite frankly Im VERY lost. Can someone help me choose the right version?
I want it to just be flush, or a bit behind the fender. trying to keep away from rolling, or running very stretched tires.
I was thinking of doing 19x9.5 +36 offset, and 275/30 tire, Will this clear easily w/o issue? Then I saw rim depth......

Problem is like, I said, the wheel comes in ALOT of variations.

Im really lost...What would be the optimal choice? (size, width, offset, depth, tire size)
