up-speed Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 I am considering picking up a set of Volk GT-Ns from a friend. The sizes and offsets are 18x9 +38 18x10 +11 (rear) These were on a Nissan 240sx. I know the +11 offsets are pretty low. My question is what is everyone else running? I am thinking I will probably have to pull the rear fenders and/or run widebody fenders in the rear. Any input is welcomed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCoupe Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 I am considering picking up a set of Volk GT-Ns from a friend.The sizes and offsets are 18x9 +38 18x10 +11 (rear) ← Well I can tell you that: 18x9 +38 CES hit the lip in the front ~half an inch 18x10 +38 CES hit the lip in the rear ~half an inch You're going to be 28mm more offset and more hits in the rear, widebody needed. I am pretty sure you are asking for serious suspension and handling trouble with +11 offset, that's way beyond factory ~+50. I am probably going back to Supra TT oem 17's at some point.

One of the local guys is running 18x10 +24 w/o too much problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCoupe Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 There are handling issues with extreme offsets outside of factory specs. There are alignment issues with same. The tires won't wear correctly. There are additional stress on the wheel bearings and axles with the additional leverage the wheel exerts. These wheel tire combo's typically weigh like 55 lbs each vs factory's 42 lbs. Thats like 25% increase in unsprung weight, not good. They will always look smokin hot on your car and that may be all that is important.
