Forged Performance: GT30 Formula Silver Installed

Sharif@Forged · 09-07-2009, 12:13 PM

Niko came over from Alabama for a header and wheel/tire install. I have been looking forward to installing these incredible Volk GT30's on his car for a couple weeks now.

VOLK GT-30 Formula Silver finish
20X9.5 +35
20X10.5 +10

We hit the nail on the head with these offsets and tire sizes.

We went Toyo T1R's all around, and a MASSIVE 305/25/20 rear tire, and 255/30/20 front. The car looks like the absolute devil and incredibly aggressive from the rear.

Thank you NIKO and Happy Birthday!!

Formula Silver is sick! I can't wait to get my FS wheels. BTW, what did you do with the tire pressure monitor when installing the new wheels?

Sharif, removed the TPMS sensors to the new wheels. Should be a simple transfer from old to new wheels.

The OEM TPMS sensors transfered over to the GT30's. The GT30 has a second valve stem hole on the rear of the rim. Drops right in.

No lights or blinking things on the dashboard.

Awesome! I'm eagerly waiting for the Volks you guys ordered. Hopefully the spacer for the front wheel works well.

Can we assume this for most of the Volk lineup or is it GT-30 specific?

The Volk GT lineup will eventually have the second hole for the TPMS sensors but it's being phased in slowly.

The Monoblock wheels, such as the TE37, G2, and CE28 will accept the TPMS sensor without having to use a rear facing hole, so those are ready to go as well.

Liquid,

I'll post more pictures this evening when I get home. Also, tell your friends with G37/G35s or 370s that I'm selling the stock Sport wheels at a great price! Only $1000 shipped FREE with Rubber. Check out the thread here.

the 305 fits perfectly on the 10.5 inch rears.... very nice

and those tails are nicely done, not overdone like mine

also, since there's a 1 inch difference in diameter from front to rear.... does it make a big difference??
the rear is 1inch smaller

I made a mistake which I just corrected. It's a 255/30/20 so the OD difference is nearly nothing.

Sharif, has that car in the pics been lowered? And, did you need longer wheel studs with those offsets?

I'm the lucky owner of this car. It's been lowered with the Eibach Pro Kit springs. I'm not certain how much it was lowered but the manufacturer indicates it lowers the vehicle .9" front & .8" rear.

What about the wheel studs?

Sorry about that. Well, Sharif asked if I wanted to use the stock wheel studs or buy another set to match the wheels. I ended up buying the matte black finish from Volk. Therefore, I would assume you can use the same studs since he asked me if I wanted to keep the stock studs. I hope that helps.
