I ordered my VOLK GT-U and why is there no dish on his rim!!!!!!! his back is 245 and mine is going to be 255, IF ITS LIKE THAT IMA CANCEL IT, I NEED MORE DEEP DISH.. HELP IM GOING CRAZY!!!!!

 

Is this english or some kind of foreign gibberish?

 

lol common help me out im going crazy i need some answers.

 

If I could understand what the heck you're trying to ask, I might have a chance at coming up with an answer.

 

Unless you go custom, seems like all the Volk GT series have only a small lip - front and rear. With a width of 8" and offset of 50...you don't have much room.

Find a rim that is at least 9" if want any resemblence of a lip...9.5 and 10 would be much better. And, the smaller the offset, the better...just make sure you don't rub.

 

Alright i orderd my rims the volk gt-u's, and they told me its going to have like a 3 inch lip, or 3.5 inch lip. I want something with a nice lip, but the guy who is selling that s2k doesnt even have a 2 inch lip. So im scared the rims i orderd wont have a nice lip.

 

Those aren't VOLK GT-Us in the picture, are they!?

 

sad but they are loolll. the guy says there volk gt-u's. And i was just talking to someone who was very helpful and he told me to get 8 in the front and 10 in the back with 72 offset on the back and 50 offset in the front. U guys think that would work?????

 

i have these wheels i think the dish looks great i just wish the rim widths were wider

 

I don't think you'll have a 3 - 3.5" lip with an offset of 72. Here's the reason:

Width of the rim = 10"

Center of the rim is @ 5" (127mm)

Offset is 72 mm; subtract from the center (127 - 72), and you get 55mm. That's the location where the hub meets the rims. 55mm is only 2.16".

You'll need to subtract the width of the face from 2.16"; the result is the size of your lip. The shape (curvature) of the face will factor into the width of the outer lip, but given the GT-U has a pretty flat face, I would assume the lip to be closer to 2".
