merckx Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 After much searching I've decided to get the Volk GT-C in 19" It's available in 8.0", 8.5", 9.5" and 10.5". I'm thinking of going 8.5" front and 10.5" rear. I don't think there's any need to go wider at the front if I use a 245 tyre. The rear at 10.5" should take a 275 tyre min which I might start with incase there's any clearance issues. The 10.5" wheel is available in a 47mm offset, the main question is - will it with a 275 or wider tyre stay under the wheel arch, I don't want it to look stupid. Don't really want to go for a 9.5" rear as it would only take a 275 max. Any thoughts/advice appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 I like those! I don't think there's any need to go wider at the front if I use a 245 tyre.I agree, you don't need any more than 8½" wide for 245 section tyres. I use 255/40/18 tyres on my 8½" front wheels. Don't really want to go for a 9.5" rear as it would only take a 275 max.285s are alright on 9½" but that's about the maximum, as you say 10" or 10½" would be better.

Nic Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 Rays recommend these sizes, for the Volk GT-C wheels on the Supra. I'd go with their recommendation, as these will definitely clear the 4 pot front calipers. Front: 18 x 9 +42 Disc A Rear: 18 x 10 +47 Disc C I can get very good deals on all Rays wheels, if anyone is looking for some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just that I've heard conflicting opinions , a bloke on Supraforums said that Volk recommended a 8.5" & 9.5" for another wheel. I was going to ask you for a price/ delivery time etc, just wanted to 100% sure of the wheel and corresponding tyre sizes first .

merckx Posted April 2, 2006 Author Share Posted April 2, 2006 See HERE for recommended sizes for the GT-C and HERE for wheel list Thanks Nic Only one thing, I want to have the face 2 wheel on the back (like in the pic at the start of the thread, it has concave spokes which look nicer) But the tables say I should get a 9.5" rear and not 10.5". The fella who has the quicksilver car is running a 10.5", from the offset tables I've got it's the same as the 9.5" at 37mm. I've sent him pm's and emails to ask about the fitment, but he's not replying even though he's been online. " S]oLiD " on the Australian Supraforums. Don't want a 9.5 at the rear as it wil limit the tyre width. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wkdtime Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 dont know if this helps, i have 9.5" rears with 19" diameter with offset of 35 and with 275 tyres and the wheels rubbed the arch quite abit, i had to trim the arches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That does help, thanks very much. I wished they did a larger offset. Just don't know what to do for the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 They recommend the 9.5 rear, as they don't do a bigger offset in the 10.5 width (as they do on the face 1 version), 19 x 10.5 +37 would mean the wheels would stick out quite a bit and catch the arch.
