Volk GT7 Offsets and Widths

[barkeep]

I plan to purchase a set of GT7's ASAP, but I am not sure the specific offset and rim width I need.

I have a set of TEIN Flex coilovers. I would like 18x10 with 285's on the back and 18x9.5 with 255's on the fronts. What offsets do I need that are offered with the GT7's? Is this a good configuration?

With these sizes, will I have any rubbing issues with a pretty low ride height? Will rolling the fenders be necessary? And if so, is that something that will be visually unattractive or even noticeable on the car?

Thank you,
barkeep

2ROTORMOTOR will know what to do here, has been gone for the last few days, but when he returns...he will definitly know what to do...

Rolling the fenders isn't noticable if done properly. I'll let 2Rotor chime in on if it'll be necessary.

First of all what car do you have ???? with 18x9 in the front your gunna have to use a spacer and depending on the rim longer studs. the back are gunna be fine. I used to have 18x11 and 18x9 in the front. On the rubbing issue, it depends what suspension you get, also how much you drop. I have no Idea about first gens, but on 2nd gens you wont have to roll the fenders. And even if you did it has a nice look to it, a mor aggressice stance. But I cant reallly help you out with the off set.


P.s. sorry I forgot I was in the 3rd gen forums. but everything stilll stands the same, no rolling necessary. At most all youll have to do is add spacers, im almost possitive that its required in the front but dont think you need to in the back. longer studs might be needed.

9.5 in the front will be close to rubbing if you don't get the right offset. What are you going for a huge dish or perfect fitment? I was told on a 3rd gen never to go any lower than a 36 offset.
