Question Good deal on wheels need help quick! OFFSETS

hey everyone,

i need some help pretty quick on these wheels

they are 19" volk GTS
sizes are 19x 9 1/2 +18 up front wrapped in 255/35
19 x 10 1/2 +17 in the back wrapped in 285/35

would i be able to run this setup? I dont want rediculous amount of poke but a nice flush would be ideal.

Im on redonkulously soft tanabe coilovers =\
Help much appreciated!!!!!!!!!

Front is no problem.

I have 9.5 +20 245/40 no rub at all.
rear 275/30 dial in camber. No need to stretch your tires.

19x10.5 +17 rear 285/35

sorry but no way you can fit with those tires.

Fronts I think you can make it fit... but not the rear. Definitely need to stretch tires 255/30 or 255/35..

not true. weiboy tried fitting 275/35 rears on his 10.5 +20. No way it would work.

A friend of mine was running a 10.5+20 rear and it needed stretched tires. A 285 will not fit guaranteed. Maybe a 265 at most. But I doubt it. I'm running a 20x9 +20 front and with a 235 tire I rubbed on u turns. But I'm slammed, so a 9.5 +18 is 6 more mm aggressive. That rear though is a pretty low offset for these cars.

I'm running +20 with a 9.5 in the front perfectly flush 245/40. No rub at all. You're not that low either I'm very sure you'll be fine.

I think it depends on how low you want to drop your. I'm running 19x9.5 in the front with +18 offset and my tires are 235/35/19 front with -1.6 camber, I'm slammed though.

The fronts he'll be alright. The rear is what is too aggressive without needing stretched tires.
