Tried the search, didnt find any opinions on these wheels.. maybe you have a specific key word for me?

ichiban · 09-21-2009, 10:08 AM

looks nice. Just depends on what size they have. the best offset would be somewhere around width 8 +38 F and width 9 +55 ish if you want to fit 225 (235 will need some tweaks to the fender) front. and 265 rear. If you want stretched tires. Then then 9 with lower offset should be fine.

will 265 still keep in diameter spec and fit in the rear wheel wells?

Not sure what you mean, but this is if you plan to drop the car with either a spring or coilover setup.

Sorry i meant circumference...Monday morning.

I just checked it, 265/30R19 is only 0.72% off spec so thats good! Thanks for the tip!

shawn13 · 09-21-2009, 10:31 AM

I'll prob do 255/30R19 as it only out 0.2% from stock.

Eyeman · 09-21-2009, 10:33 AM

My G10 search shows 19x8.5 et43 and 19x9.5 et 45 being the best fitment available. Those are the exact sizes I have with my Volks. They'll fit with pretty much no rubbing if not lowered. Lowered or even with just a heavy passenger, they will rub, the lower the more. Otherwise, great wheels if you have the money.

I'm frustrated, I think I might have slightly bent one of mine recently, either that or my alignment was slightly knocked off. Of course that is an issue with 19's.

Nice, what size tires are you running on those rims.

I was running 19" Volk GT-7s on my G they usually kept great alignment... however I almost cried when i curbed the front one day...

Eyeman · 09-21-2009, 11:43 AM

A good number of people on this site have similar fitting setups. Most squeeze 235/35's fr and 255/30 rears with substantial fender mods if lowered. I bought my used wheels with 225/35 fr and 245/35 rears. I have my fenders rolled and still scrub at times or with passengers. I'm actually planning to have my wheels machined to increase my rear offset to around et50. I'll probably still use the same tire sizes that I currently have.

Btw, there is a set of wheels exactly like mine for sale on the E46 site. The seller is in Toronto also. You better jump on them if you are serious about Volks!

I mentioned to the seller that these would be popular here but he didn't post so I didn't want to do it for him, but since you requested..

Ryan@IND · 09-21-2009, 08:10 PM

The Volk G10 is amazing looking wheel.

the only fitment recommended is:
Front: 19 - 8.5 +43 (225/35-19 tires, something like FK and T1R)
Rear: 19 - 9.5 +45 (255/30-19 tires, something like FK and T1R)

These are just a tad more aggressive than the Klassen wheels that we had on our car and we really took it to the max without rolling and fender mods and a drop.

I think with rolling and some minor adjustment, they will definitely fit and no rubbing.

We get all types of customers (from the Hella Flush guys to the "I must stick to OEM size") and I respect all their decisions. The important thing here is that you are very certain about the look/form/function that you are trying to achieve.

Eyeman · 09-21-2009, 08:45 PM

Wow, those are spectacular. I think I'd still have to go the with 18" G2s though if I were buying new. Better fitment and I presume cheaper and lighter. Either would be great and in the long run they hold up and resale so much better than most wheels, making them a better value than they seem.

mshahidz · 09-21-2009, 10:36 PM

^ thats a great price for LE37s firstly.
secondly, G10's look great, you can also look inot the advan RS-D's since they have a similar style! Good luck and dont be afraid of pushing the boundaries.

Hmm... I was running 10.5+24 GT-7s with 275/35/R19 on my G coupe. I had to keep the rear at stock height for no rubbing issues.

If I was to run the G10s on the stock M sport suspension would I still have rubbing issues with that aggressive offset?

Do the VR-G2 come in a less aggressive offset for the 135?

Eyeman · 09-22-2009, 10:48 AM

That fitment G10 would be fine on the stock suspension somewhat dependant on your tire choice (for example most 245 would be okay but only some 255's).

The G2's are only 9" wide and the offset is 50 vs 45 in the rear. I'm sure they'd fit great even lowered.

shawn13 · 09-22-2009, 11:42 AM

I dunno about the G2 look tho, anyone come across a picture of a 135 with G2s, I think the G10s suit the car better...

The G2 looks sick on edgy cars like the Gallardo or GTR from pics Ive seen.
