Volk GT-S Test Fit, what do you think ?

OMGWTFBBQ · 08-26-2010, 04:10 AM

I can see what you mean by wishing the front was a little lower. The first picture makes it look like your car has a reverse rake.

Either way, that size/offset is really good for a Z and especially at that price, why wouldn't you do it? Haha you can always pick them up and roll on them for a while and when you get bored, flip it for some money.

Do it for the price

with a spacer and H/R drop, they'd look great

chuckd05 · 08-26-2010, 07:33 AM

A 10pm rear or 5 mm rear spacer ? Would +8 fit in the rear?

ClemsonWill · 08-26-2010, 08:20 AM

You should definitely jump on these. You can't beat that price. Like someone else said, you can always flip them if the fit doesn't work for you.

If you don't end up getting them tell your buddy to PM me. I will buy them.

he has 285/40/19 and 255/40/19s on them now on his 2006 350z and didnt have any vdc issues that I am aware of though so I dont know.

My buddy said he would buy my Eibach springs from me if I go with H&Rs , just saw Kevr's spirts are +15 offset and he has H&Rs with no issue, so I see light at the end of the money tunnel. Still would love to hear that its a good idea from one of the wheel dealers on here :-)

Disregard my previous message, this tire setup is standard on the Nismo 370z so I'm sure it will be fine on your setup.

Get the wheels and go with a 10mm spacer.

[/thread]

chuckd05 · 08-26-2010, 10:36 PM

I put them one and a 10mm will make it sit perfect.. but the lips were a little stained from im guessing improper drying.. like white stain. Going to bring to my detailer to see what he thins, I have pics installed it looks great but with all things considered with swapping tpms, potentially getting the lip re finished, and swapping my tires it may end up costing close to what 19 in spirits could be from the quote I just got..

I will post pics on the car and of the rims tomorrow, as I am giong to help him sell them if I dont take them...

Also the front with his 255/35/19 on the front sit pretty much flush with the fender but on a hard accelerating uphill left or right the tire hits the wheel liner for a second. Cant see any marks on either and its very minor. If you feel the inner fender wall theres one spot where the plastic sits a little lower than every where else, Im guessing its hitting there..

with all things considered I am going to pass but they are definatly do able... If you get them re done they will be money with a 10mm rear spacer. pics soon with a 8mm rear spacer on.

thats a steal!!!! dang i wouldnt think twice about that deal!

chuckd05 · 08-27-2010, 01:12 AM

1500+ shipping. Tires are miss matched needs fronts perfect rears. Very aggressive front offset ... But does work. May have to trim front wheel liner to
Eliminate all rubbing.

Who wants them. Pics in a few

Soap stains on the lips too. Wax quoted 75 a wheel from local refinisher .
