Default Questions on Volk GT-C on GS400

Hi folks,
I'm thinking about gettin the GT-C face 2 for my GS4. I've been wavering between getting 18's or 19's and finally made my decision to go with 18's after hitting this giant bump on the road (luckily i have 16's). Streets here in the bay area are truly disgraceful.
Anyhows, I just wanted to make sure that I have the correct specs.
Front: 18x9 +42 245/40/18
Rear: 18x10 +37 275/35/18

Is this setup ok guys? Will I need any fender work for this?
I know some people will tell me to go 19's..the price difference between these wheels aren't much and neither are the tire prices so price really isn't the issue here...really..could anyone tell me if 19's are really THAT much easier to to dent than 18's ...afterall...Volks are supposed to be made really well. (I'm assuming crappy wheels bend easier..i may be wrong)

Any help appreciated..
thx
andrew

you can also do +37 front for slightly more lips(if you like)...18s has more tyre, so more cushion for bending. i know exactly what you mean by having a tough time choosing between 18 v 19..

They are Face 2 in the rear and Face 1 in the front.

Thanks for the props Rock!

My friend just got a set in black on his GS400 as well.

Funny thing, I might be selling the GTC soon, even though I just got them last month!!

I have another set of wheels on order that are coming in earlier than I thought. Plus, my friend just got 19 GTC's for his GS too and I dont want to be twins haha.

PM me or email me at jza8shwoff@aol.com and we can talk more about me selling them. From what remember, you are local.... so its all good.

Thanks

Willie
