conservative fit for volk racing rims??

genki370z · 06-18-2009, 10:49 PM

im in the process of buying some volk TE37 rims. of course the fronts are gonna be 9.5x19 and the back is 10.5x19. what you guys think is probably the most aggressive offsets i can go without the worry of spacers and fender rubbing? what about a conservative offset for the rims? what about tire sizes too?

Wow, awesome wheels. Get the 10s and 11s rear though

most volks in that size are et22 front and rear which should make for decently aggressive fit with no problems with rubbing unless you SLAM with coilovers

what do u think about +22offset for the fronts with 19X9.5 and +12offsets for the rear with 19x10.5? is this a good fitment? any kind of issue i could possibly run into with this setup?

The front on 370 seems to be more of an issue...that setup you mention should be cool but again you also have to factor in tire width and how low you want to drop. If you only go springs like Eibach then skys the limit for tires - you can roll 275 up front and 305+ out back. If you go lower with coilovers then you may have to be somewhat more conservative in front but should be OK in the rear with 305

haha i kno car parts for days but tire width and fitment is a different story, so the size u mentioned for the tires is koo, but now the next thing is that i dont want to run low profile tires, yes it looks good but man u know how it is driving on the crazy socal freeways...lol. i dont wanna deal with killer potholes messing up my tires and possibly the rims. any advice on the "thickness"(if thats how u call it) on the tire?

well if you have a 370 sport package then your already running 'low profile' tires (40%F 35%R). I would recommend 35F and 30R IMO
