Volk GTS' Installed 19x9.5 +17 19x10.5 +18 ( but added 10mm spacer ) Pics & Questions

chuckd05 · 02-19-2011, 01:59 AM

I purchased these off a 350z guy, they were OG Mercury Silver and had some clear coat damage on the lips... I got them re-done in this custom charcoal color and had them installed. The +17 up front and +18 out back were not ideal offsets as the front stuck out more than the rear... the 10mm spacer I have added makes them pretty close to each other but I still feel like I should take the rear out 5 more MM... What do you think ?

I am super picky but dont get me wrong, I am loving the look right now... But I'm thinking 5 more MM in the rear and it'll be perfect.

Also the car is dropped on Eibach Springs and I have been toying with the idea of swapping to H&Rs or coilovers but as is I scrape on most driveways..

Anyway, here are the pics... what do you all think ? Off sets are effectivly 19x9.5+17 and 19x10.5+8 right now with the 10mm in the rear.. Tires are 255/35/19 and 305/30/19 Ventus Evo's ... My album has a ton of other pics if you want to check it out... Thanks for looking and sorry for so many pics. lol !

It looks ok to me, I can't tell from the pics that the rears are sunk in. But if you get H&R springs the front wheels will be tucked in from the drop.

Looks great to me!

TreeSemdyZee · 02-19-2011, 10:20 AM

Probably my favorite wheel. Definitely like the color.

Jeffblue · 02-19-2011, 11:22 AM

they look great man. doesn't look sunk in to me.

ZeeingAround · 02-19-2011, 12:32 PM

nice change for your car. Looks good!

tsolin01 · 02-19-2011, 01:48 PM

Definitely my fav wheels

I think they look good as is but if you're planning H&Rs or coils then that extra 5mm in the rear will even it out more. With coils you can probably get away with an extra 10mm.

Nitrouz · 02-19-2011, 02:48 PM

definitely 5mm more in the rear. Looks great!

Red__Zed · 02-19-2011, 03:32 PM

Looks great, but I'd definitely push the rears out a bit more.

chuckd05 · 02-19-2011, 03:34 PM

okay , now I dont think I am crazy.. going to order a set of 15mm tonight to replace the 10mm one on now... or a 20 ? I think 10mm may be overkill though...

anyone know if the 10mm studs are the same size as 15mm studs from H&R ... I could always get the bolt on style and sell these but I like the idea of the DSR ones...

I will have a set of 10mm DSR HRs for sale when I get back from vacation in Cali on the 29th...

While I am gone I am having my fangs/mid grill area sprayed black like my valence but leaving the bottom strip white like one other member did, as well as having them install my black chrome emblems.. Than the 15mm will go on the day I get home and I should be good .... for the time being... lol

Im thinking about HR springs as well but am going to install my OEM chin spoiler and see how much I scrape first and def will wait to summer, but I would like the front lower by about .5 which is exactly what the HRs will do I think... I just really like the ride the way it is right now, I wouldnt want to sacrifice comfort for a smidge better drop

Looks good.

Your setup looks good!

Iceman · 02-21-2011, 11:32 PM

Chuck the car looks great!! I am currently looking at selling my 350 and getting a 370, just trying to decide between the bright silver or black color lol. Good to see how Volks look on a 370, as I would probably switch mine (Volk GT-7) over to the new ride.

oleg · 02-23-2011, 01:41 PM

This might be a dumb question but if you have +18 offset and add a 10 mm spacer does that make it a +28 offset?
