The problem yours had Phills, was that you had your lip matching the bumper and your rear was too high. But i think it looked good...

I think I'm set on either getting some Volk GT-C's, WEDS TC105N's, or Advan RS's for my FD.

The Advans are the most expensive, and I seem to finding a bunch of deals on GT-C's, so I'll probably be picking up some of those.

Gun-metal/grey GT-C's look pretty good on white FD's, so I think it's a good choice for the price.

Looks good jdskin.

Feed, right?

Not gonna mold them in?

I'm having a really hard time deciding if I want to pull out a signature loan to pick up a pair of 19X9.5 +21 and 19X10.5 +24 Volk GT-C's with some 255/35/19 and 305/30/19 tires already on them for $2,000. Is that a good deal?

Hi,
I am a newbie to the FD scene. I plan to get Enkei RPF1 18x9.5 +45 for front & rear with 255/35. Also will drop the car a little but nothing too crazy. I prefer not to roll fenders.

Could you please let me know if this setup will work without rubbing and clearing brake calipers? If not, could you please provide some recommendations?

Thank you in advance for your feedback!

You should have no problems with that set up, you can even go 275 on the rear, but for a more flush fitment on the rear an 18x10 +38 will work better as the 18x9.5 +45 is sunk in.

I ran a stoptech BBK in the front and 99 rear with no problems..

yeah, might be molding them in the future when I have enough money for a new paint job.

2,000 seems like a good deal for the rims with tires if they still have decent tread on them. I paid 1,700 for mine but they are no where near perfect.

That is next on the list, just have to pickup a tool for my kei office shocks so I dont destroy them with a screwdriver.

Like Kai said, I too would go +38. I'm assuming you want to be able to rotate the tires, but if that's not a concern I would do the 9.5 +38 up front and something like a 10.5 +45 in back for maximum sexiness (and a stupid wide tire)

How will Volk GT-C 19X9.5 +21 and 19X10.5 +24 with the 255/35/19 and 305/30/19 tires fit with stock fenders?

I have Burnout front and rear widebody fenders, but they're not installed yet..
