I've ordered Volkracing rims Gram lights pro from Japan. The company "Volk" recommended 35mm offsets for 17*8 @ 17*9.

I have a lowered 1" tokico adjustables on apex springs. They said it would work. I'm just confused on what tire sizes to get.

Thanks,

I have volk racing GT-P's in 17x8/9.5. The vendor I used, and Rishie reccomended +40 all around. I am running 235 40's and 255 40's no problems.

since I might not have enought time to change my order what would be the downfall in running 35mm offset?

Oh and dam thats pretty big tires. I wonder if could change to 9.5

I also didn't think that big of a tire would fit in front. Are you running coil overs?

Thanks
Ian

 

Sorry missed your sig. Looks like you are running coil overs and thats probable why your running such wide tires..

Thanks again Ian....

 

Yeah.. I'm pretty darn sure 17x8 with a 40 offest up front would not work unless you have coilovers.

I am in the market for wheels as well. I want to got 16x8 in front and back. I heard that 30 or 35 offset will work, but I dont want to rub in front. I have Eibach springs which my stock rims/tires are pretty dang close to already.

I think that even if I stayed 16x7 I would go 35mm as it will push the wheels outbound a bit.

Anyone reading this run 16x8 without coilovers? I want to know if I need to go 35 or 30 mm offset.

Ian,

my TSW's are 17x8 with 40mm offset. I've got lots of room in the back, but not up front (215/40)...

 

Thanks guys. I think I might stick with the 35mm offset because thats what Volk racing suggested, Know if I could change the order to 9.5" rather then 9"
