Need Help

Any help will be most appreciated with this issue. I have a set of GTC's and I have tried every tuner lug imaginable offered locally to get them on my car. Does anyone know a vendor or website where I can order some for the GTC wheels? Thanks so much for your help. Take care!

That looks really nice.

Have you thought about using black on the screws that mount the cold air opening to the intake. They kind of stick out being silver.

But anyways...

I FINALLY found a shop that will ship a set of Volk GTFs to Guam at a good price...now I just want to make sure I get the right offsets.

I was thinking 40mm offset for 19x9.5 all around...

What do you guys think?? All opinions and thoughts are welcome....

19x9.5 +36 will be a lot more aggressive. it will also give you 2 3/4 lip instead of the 2 1/4 lip the +40 will have. but, you may not be able to get a big brake kit in the future for the front, unless you get something like the mini 6 pot caliper endless offers.

245/35R19 or 255/30R19

Really, they should come with special lugs if they need thinner than the spline drive lugs.

What type of seat do they need?

possibly he used a regular socket type tool and couldn't fit it into the holes. The aftermarket lugs use a thinner tool.

So he just needs a shallow socket.

Hey guys I finally ordered my new wheels. They are Volk GTS in Titanium gunmetal in 19x8.5 with a +36 offset on all 4. I will post pics when they arrive probably in July.

I didn't want staggered because I want to be able to rotate the tires. How big will the lips be? Is it aggressive enough because I wanted to be have enough clearance with the brakes just in case and I didn't want to have to roll the fenders.
