help with Volk GT-C fitment

OK...

Someone I know is selling his Volk GT-C:

18x8
+36 offset
Face 1
5x114.3 bolt pattern

Looks something like:


Question: will this fit on a G37 6MT? I am strongly considering this to take for winter rims since the person selling them to me is almost giving them away.

Someone confirm? Thanks in advance.

^ Thanks for your help ... that is what I am wondering as well. I do have 5mm spacers from my current car ... these rims aren't staggered, either. Guess I will have to pass on them. Too bad -- such a great price ... :cry:

Anyone else confirm?

Yeah, 18" FTL! I'd say at LEAST same as stock 19's and staggered.

i say get them. you said the dude is basically getting them away for free. if they do not fit, you can sell it for some profit. if they do not clear the brakes, just add spacers.

you wouldnt be loosing any traction. you can fit a 245 tire on the rear wheel so you can keep the stock tire widths. Clearance might work. if you can get one rim and test fit it over the brake...

well the wheels maybe. but thats only if someone can tell that they are the same all around. if he still staggers the tires it creates and illusion to the eye that the rear is wider

Before I got the 20"s I was rolling on the stock 18" and even they were 8.5" Do yourself a favor, and if you need winter wheel, just buy some stockers so you won't worry about them getting crapped up. Here's a 18v20 pic
