Volk GTS Wheel fitment question

I'm looking at some Volk GTS wheels. Staggered setup, 19x9.5+18 & 19x10.5+17. Will this setup clear BBK?

Depends how much lip you run, those offsets are pretty aggressive so you'll have to run some stretched tires &/or camber to get them in the fenders. They should clear the BBK but it's best to send a template to the vendor if they can't confirm as 2 piece wheels can complicate the fit.

It's from a private seller. He's currently running then on his G35. Sad thing is I can't test fit them because I'm in Houston and he's 13 hours away in El Paso.

see what disk he has on the fronts.. if its a high disk.. then highly doubt it would clear the OE big brakes.

From the video it looks like the non-Brembo brake kit.

no no..

you need to know what disk profile those GT-S faces are.

It would either be High Disk, Mid Disk or Low Disk... work uses letters for these and I believe Volk should too..
I could be wrong tho. it's been awhile since I've seen any 3 piece Volk wheels.. Best bet would just be to measure brakes and take it to the wheel or just test mount it.

Volk Racing GT-S wheels from Upgrade Motoring


High disk or (offset A from the chart) are always bbk friendly, low disk not so much.

the rears are pretty aggressive if u lower the car u will have to probably shave the entire bumper bracket off. the fronts will fit fine imo

Purchased them. Will test fit as soon as they come in. If it's too aggressive, I'll get the curb rash fixed and resell.

Fitment is perfect! Previous owner had stretched tires. I'm going to run them til the thread wears out. Then I'll get meatier tires on. Volk GTS Wheel fitment question-photo631.jpg
