Question Is this offset ok for my volk GT-C?

Hi

I am buying 18x9 front and 18x10 rear volk GT-C for my FD and the offset the company is selling me is +42 in front and +37 rear. I have RB springs with tokico 5 way, will I have any rubbing problems?

Thanks

the front offset is good, the rear offset is too low

if you get the GTC with mid or low centers, you can get a +47 or +50 offset which is good

oh so you in Puerto Rico. i see now. really depends on what tire you want up front and rear.

I'd reccommend a 235/40 and 265/35. Otherwise if you can spend the bucks get a 245/35 and maybe a 285/30. Not sure if that will rub though. Let you know on Friday.

Question

Ok, why is it that Rx7 Forum members buy (expensive) wheels WITHOUT consulting a dealer what the proper offset is for their car's application It's the wheel dealer's responsibility for fitting your wheels PROPERLY.

I guess Rishie's Automotie R&D is the only wheel dealer that knows what the proper fitments are supposed to be for any given vehicle!!!???
