Yup another one...I did the search and have come up with following, I just want to be sure

Volk GT-C
: 18x9" front offset around +40 ?
: 18x10" rear offset around +38?

I have Tokicos and Eibach springs all around. I was planning to use PP S-03's 285/30-18 Back, 255/35-18's front.

Do I have it right?

[If anyone out there can get the Amemiya AW7's in 18" (Gold preferably) sometime this century, I'd still be willing to get them by the way...]

It sounds like it would work in the front

You "may" have to roll the fender in the rear depending on how low your running because of the low offset.

GT-C rims have two face styles and three pad hights. 18x9s are available in +42 in both face types, with high pad hight ( caliper clearance).These should fit with your tires but you may need to roll your fenders. 18x10s are available in +37, +43, +50, in face 1 with a mid hight pad and a +47 in a low pad hight. I don't know if a low pad will clear the caliper in back. In a face 2 they come +37 in mid pad and +44 in low pad. I wouldn't run the 37 in back, others on the form have used +43 in back but have used 275-35-18. Contact ARD T2 to help with fitments, you most likley will need to order them (8 weeks) so spend the time to order the right ones

jr great work. I only recommend the +40 on the 9"er as a last resort, due to lack of offset options, and limits your front tire sizing to a 245/35 max in the 18" diameter. While that is great, it is not an easy size to find relatively speaking.

If you have higher offset options the better. The first thing I'd like to know is what type of suspension you are running. If it deems I would like to see if we can run the

Mid pad type:
18,9 +50 face I
18,10 +44 face II

If all goes well we can run 255/35 and 285/30 which are easier sizes to get in the same tire model. Let me know the suspension stuff and we'll work through it real quick.

Thanks, Rishie

Thanks, I thought I did post my suspension mods that were relevant.

I PM'ed you the full deal. It's Eibach springs, Tokico 5 way illuminas, and some stuff like front sway bar (RB), Pettit street launch kit and fr/rear strut bars.
