Fittment Question please help

I have been searching through the Volk owners thread to see if anyone is running that size and offset but I came up short for the front. I know the rear will work but the front I'm concerned about. I looked at Takahashi's thread about best fitments and this is what I came up with again looks like its stated for the rear but not the front

19x9.5 +37 w/275 tire (fender roll needed to carry rear passengers)

So im looking to order Volk GTS 19x9.5 37mm offset on all 4s with a 275/30 tire

currently the car is unlowered but about to order tanabe sevens with the teas system.

With everything properly aligned should I have a problem? Gotta figure out this asap so I can get them before sema =D

Thank you to any one who helps

What i'd be worried about is brake caliper clearance in the C disk you've chosen in that offset netting a 94mm lip.

Make sure you verify these will clear your brakes. If you ever upgrade it's very doubtful that these will clear.

i've already tried to do low disk stuff with my endless brakes and still ended up running a 5mm spacer. All this is relative to the rim spoke architecture. So my low disk has more room than a GTS low disk, i can tell by looking at the rim design.

If you want to rotate then you will prob need to go with B disk front and rear. If you get a BBK you will need to get A disk.

A disk: 9.5" +43 69mm lip
B disk fitment: 9.5" +40 81mm lip, FITS GREAT
C disk fitment: 9.5" +37 roll fenders

Is your car in a booth at SEMA? Why the rush? Featured vehicle or something? I'll be there.

You won't ahve a problem with a minor roll in rear and about 2 to 2.5 degs neg camber in the back.

I'm running a 19x10 +45 with that setup and yours is a couple mm out more than mine.

My setup for Toyo booth this weekend at sonoma Formula D is:

RP03 19x9.5 with 285/30/19 all around, closer to stock tire diameter than the 275.

Im not able to talk about sema ATM. Thanks though Rishie I checked with the tire size calculator and you are correct about the 285s! What offset are you running on the rpo3's for the 9.5's? I was less worried about the rear with 2 other people running GTS with 37 offset in the rear it was the front I was most worried about. So you believe they will fit on the front for now but when I get my BBK spaces and a fender roll is a must. If so that is fine because I was planning on doing a fender roll after I get the tanabe sevens and teas system. So when I get my BBK ill just get some spacers at the same time.

Thanks alot you saved me a good amount of time.

if you're gonna get a BBK, you might want to go 19x9.5 +40 up front and +37 in the rear

hmm for rotation purposes +40 all the way around would be best?

I have the GT-S with +37 rear on a 275 tire and I have to say that it does NOT leave a whole lot of room for brake clearance. I think that you should consider a higher offset since that setup doesnt yield much fender clearance either....maybe consider running a 255/35 tire on those rims and I think you'll be fine

looks like 40mm it is. fender rolling and spacers are not a problem at all considering its being done on company money. I was concerned that they would just not fit at all in the front. but since all thats been cleared up its all good.
