Ok I did a search and found a lot of threads with Volk, but very few for the GTUs and none pointing me to that
I am interested in these rims so i think i can get
18x8.5 front et 30
and 18x9.5 et 40 rear
is that correct?
and which tyres do you suggest?
i thought about Toyo Proxes in
225/40 front
255/35 rear

thanx!

 

you don't want +30 in front

size and width sound OK, but offset are tough on Volk, they are hard to clear the brakes sometimes.

 

you need a 35 front and 40 to 42 rear.

 

Did you even look at the sizes for the GTU model? They don't make half-inch sizes....

Best sizes for GTU in 18" would be:

front: 18x9, Disk B, +43 offset -- you will not be able to upgrade to larger brake calipers

rear: same as front if you want to rotate, or 18x10, Disk C, +44 or +50 offset.

The GTU is not a very FD friendly wheel. If you want a Volk mesh type wheel, the SE37K or LE37K would be much better size wise -- 18x8.5, 18x9.5, both +40 offset.

 

Thanx a lot to all of you guys!
