I'm looking into getting some volk gt-c rims, 18x9 up front and 18x10 out back.

By looking around it seems as if the usual offset to go with is +35 all around, but I want it to look a little more aggressive without sticking way out. What would be a good offset to go with, or would +35 be fine with those sizes?

I think that there is +37 for the front and +35 for the back where I have found them so far, if anyone knows where to look for them lmk


Going out on a limb here, but just for curiosity - 19x9.5 for the rear? and 19x8 or 19x8.5 up front?

Might as well roll the fenders and get a more agressive GT-C setup:

19x9.5s, face 1, high 20s offset

19x10.5s, face 2, mid 20s offset

Good places to search for these rims would be my350z.com and g35driver.com. You'll be able to find them between $1200 and $2000. Some with tires and some without.

Hi,

I've got the widebody model. I bought some wheels and my rear is 9.5" +44. I test fitted it and it seems like it will hit the rear strut. Theres some pics at the start of the thread with a similar offset to this. Are they using spacers because i'm not sure how they got it on there.

offset has to be somewhere aare 30-35.. any lower and u prolly have to roll the fender.. any higher n u will hit strut.. spacers willl prolly solve ur issue

What are you talking about, people run mk4 +50 tt rims all the time with no issues. Unless his car is extremely lowered or these rims are 19"+ or running an improper size tire he should have no issues.

Thats what i was under the impression too, but it seems to hit the springs.

The wheels are 18x9.5" Unless people have rear coilovers where the springs maybe narrower than my one (bilsteins).

I found some pics on here and they don't look half bad. I may need to use some wheel spacers since they don't look like they come out towards the fender enough.
Thanks!

I want to make sure the wheels I'm going to buy are going to fit without a problem I'm pretty sure they will I just want some reassurance. I'm also going to be putting on the wilwood 4 piston BBK on the front so I'm hoping they will fit as well.

Blitz type 03 18x9 +38
18x10 +45

Thanks
