Volk sizing question
okay. i want to get some volk gt-c's 18x10 i am having a really tough time figuring out an offset(i want to run them all the way around). does anyone know what the actual width of this wheel is from outside edge to outside egde? i am also having a tough time understanding the sizing chart on Ray's website. does anyone know what they mean be flanges where it shows the depth of wheel messurement? thanks for any help.

Why do these wheels have to be 18x10 all around? You know, you're going to have to do a lot of things to get those wheels to work without rubbing or catching on anything like, getting coilovers, having your fenders rolled, and installing rear trailing arms and toe links. And the offset of the wheels will have to be +50. If they aren't available in this offset, *and* if you aren't willing to do what's previously mentioned at an additional expense, forget those wheels in that size and go with something smaller.

With the Volk GT-C, you have to run the "Face 1" version to do 18x10 all around. Volk makes a +50 offset 18x10 in the B-disk configuration. This means that the wheel WILL NOT clear upgraded front brakes, but it should clear the stock ones. If you plan on upgrading the front brakes at any time, you should go with the 18x9 +42 offset A-disk configuration.
I'm not sure why you are having troubles reading the tables for that wheel, they are pretty self-explanatory. The different disk configurations indicate the profile of the wheel spokes. An A-disk has a flatter face to allow more brake clearance while a C-disk has more curved spokes to allow for a wide lip (but less brake clearance).
