Have to agree with no Lambo Doors, but gotta defend my strakes and soon to be red calipers.

I' ve seen people with SF challenge have offsets like 34/36 or 42/40 , i understand 34 for the front is the most ideal offset and still have room for BBK upgrade, but for the rear, I was really hoping to get a bigger lip, any idea? will 32 fit?

I've come to the conclusion that there are way too many acronym named rims available. Do they even stand for anything?

19x8.5 +34 is what you want if you want a bbk. otherwise, go with a +29. the rear has to be 19x9.5 +36. it's perfectly flush with the rear fender. anything lower will cause rubbing.

dan did you roll your fenders?

what about 10.5 for the rear and get a more aggressive offset ?

34 for the front is what I'm thinking. thanks for the advice

Dang! 10.5?!? Are you just looking for a bigger lip? If anything I'd say a less aggressive offset.

aggressive offset on 10.5 means smaller stretched tire.

no, i have not rolled my fenders. with my coilovers set a little stiffer, the SF's don't rub. 19x10.5 +36 is the highest offset for the SF-Challenge, it gives you a 81mm lip. with this, the wheel would be about 1/2 inch out from the fender. you would definately have to roll/shave the fenders AND stretch the tires...like 255/30-19.

Volk GTS

Put a few pics up in the Media forum - thought I'd throw one one here too of my new rims -

Volk GTS (silver face) 18x8 +37 wrapped in Nitto Invo's.

I just bought a used set of LE37T so I don't mess up my GTS on the tracks. The decals on the spokes are starting to peel off. Does anyone know where I can pick up some replacement decals?

Yeah, I heard they would be expensive. I even heard Mackin won't sell them anymore because of all the fake Volks floating around. It's not a big deal, I don't mind peeling them all off. Didn't know if anyone could source them for cheaper.
