So....I finally got my damn wheels! Volk G2 Type II iPhone photoshoot

First of all, I'd seriously like to thank Lou@amplified for working with me through this entire process (long azz time). The man is good.
Edit: Forgot to thank everyone who helped me with tire sizes haha, even though I didn't listen to any of you.
So I finally got my damn wheels. As many of you know, I like to keep it real,light, and STRONG (and I take a lot of flak for it but F you guys haha)

Here's the pictures. Dropped on Eibachs for now until I figure out my coilover situation (pain in the *****). However, my alignment made my car lower and I have half a finger gap all around now lol.

My specs are: Volk G2 Type II Gunmetal 19x9.5 +20 (+35 with a 15mm spacer) and 19x10.5 +35.
Tires are Continental DW Extremecontact 245/40/19; 275/35/19. Beefy look.
I'd like to apologize, because I am the worst photographer known to man.
Here you go......










I'd like to introduce my friend to the forum, the athens blue coupe with the +22 G2s. He shall be on this forum shortly. The sedan is Buzzly37 or something haha.

Nice cars, nice lugs and nice house. Congrats with you bro but may I ask why don't you pick more aggressive set up like +22 all around?

Thank you! My friend is running -3.5 camber hahaha. I don't really like that look. I wanted a +22 front but I didn't want to wait 4 months just to get my fronts (which have the same concavity no matter the offset). Plus they are stopping making the type II haha.

-3.5? What about Lou? I don't think he ran that much camber on his set up.

Not 3.5 but a lot of camber haha. And I'm not super low so it wouldn't look very good

I'm also looking at G2 wheels (Type 1) and am wondering why you needed a spacer up front... According to an online wheel calculator, the +35 offset with those widths should have pushed the front out 21mm and the rears 23mm over stock wheels. That "should" have made them perfect. Am I missing something here?

Also, what is your fender to ground height (F & R)?

I'll measure for you tonight. I belive it is because that is on stock height. When you're lowered, the wheels camber in, which is why people run spacers on stock wheels when they're lowered.

Thanks! It is the Cal Poly parking structure. We actually got kicked out of the structure by the police for some random reason hahahaha.

Thank you. Like I said, I like to know I have tires, not spaghetti noodles on my wheels.
